check_users plugin problem

[Dinçer Kavraal]

Sorry, but that number difference is because:
- when root is logged in, you have used "su root", so there are two users:
1) root 2) (already open) me
- when "me" is logged in, there are only 1 user which is "me".

I hope it's clear enough.
So is this all problem? or is it only a sample?

Summary: To see which users are logged in, you can use command "w" as a
sample:
sbdy at debian:~# w
 12:56:24 up 11 days, 19:58,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
me       pts/0    127.0.0.1         12:56    0.00s  0.00s  0.00s w

as you see there is only one user that is "me". When I get to user root:

sbdy at debian:~# su -
Password:

root at debian:~# w
 12:56:24 up 11 days, 19:58,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
USER     TTY      FROM              LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU  WHAT
me       pts/0    127.0.0.1         12:56    0.00s  0.00s  0.00s
root     pts/0    127.0.0.1         12:58    0.00s  0.00s  0.00s w

there are two users online, which are both me. one of them is online user
beneath root user.
