And on yesterdays current:

laserbeam% w
 2:34PM  up  2:54, 3 users, load averages: 0.01, 0.02, 0.00
USER             TTY      FROM              LOGIN@  IDLE WHAT
svan             v0       -                11:41AM  2:53 xinit /home/svan/.xinitrc -- -nolisten tcp
root             v1       -                 1:00PM  1:34 -zsh (zsh)
svan             v7       -                 1:50PM    44 -zsh (zsh)

But none of the ttyp* show up (I'm running something like 6 xterms).

If I run `tty` on any of those xterms:

laserbeam% tty
/dev/ttyp2

So tty works fine.

So why ttyp* aren't showing up on the output of w?
