Does anyone else have an Unknown user showing up in Netinfo on 10.4? What prompted this was the Terminal saying that 2 users were logged in when running the "uptime" commande.

Now if you leave the default login shell selected under Terminal Preferences, it will always show 2 users. However, under Panther, if you changed to /bin/bash, it would only show the number of users you had created when running the "uptime" command. So I took a look in Netinfo Manager to see what users there were and noticed the "Unknown" user.

So I just want to make sure that user is supposed to be there, as well as get any ideas on why there is now always 2 users listed.

Thanks

The following users should exist in Tiger (unknown has always been there btw):

Terminal.app seems to always consume a tty even if it's set to execute a given shell rather than /usr/bin/login in 10.4. If you're worried about who is logged in, use the "who" command.
