  Expected behaviour is something like:
  0 root at capetown:~#users
  mamana root root
  0 root at capetown:~#who
  root     pts/0        Jun 13 07:49 (printserver.aims.ac.za)
  mamana   pts/1        Jun 17 13:44 (mamana-pc.local)
  root     pts/2        Jun 18 10:52 (tunisia.aims.ac.za)
  0 root at capetown:~#

  
  Note 'w' from the procps package also stopped listing locally logged
  in users in 12.04.
