  12. What's the best way under SunOS 4.1.x to determine if anyone besides
  13. the owner of the console is logged onto the machine?  Searching the
  14. utmp file?  Searching the process table?  (My program will be setuid
  15. root, so that is an option, although I would prefer a simpler
  16. solution.)  Other suggestions are greatly welcomed?
  17.  
  18. Please email me if possible.
