NAME
     rusers -- who is logged in to machines on local network

SYNOPSIS
     rusers [-al] [host ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The  rusers  command produces output similar to who(1), but for the list of
     hosts or all machines on the local network.  For each  host  responding  to
     the rusers query, the hostname with the names of the users currently logged
     on is printed on each line.  The rusers command will wait for one minute to
     catch late responders.

     The following options are available:

     -a      Print  all  machines  responding even if no one is currently logged
	     in.

     -l      Print a long format listing.  This includes  the  user  name,  host
	     name, tty that the user is logged in to, the date and time the user
	     logged in, the amount of time since the user typed on the keyboard,
	     and the remote host they logged in from (if applicable).

DIAGNOSTICS
     rusers: RPC: Program not registered  The rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has not been
     started on the remote host.

     rusers: RPC: Timed out  A communication error occurred.  Either the network
     is  excessively  congested,  or the rpc.rusersd(8) daemon has terminated on
     the remote host.

     rusers: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out	The remote host  is  not
     running  the  portmapper  (see rpcbind(8)), and cannot accommodate any RPC-
     based services.  The host may be down.
