We're running SunOS 4.0.3. We find that the rusers(1) program does not terminate. It sends out a broadcast message, prints out all replies, and waits, and waits, ad infinitum (as long as I've bothered to wait, anyway). Wouldn't it make sense to have a 15-30 second timeout? Is this fixed in SunOS 4.1? Thanks. Michael
