.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm rwho
command produces output similar to
.Xr who ,
but for all machines on the local network.
If no report has been
received from a machine for 5 minutes then
.Nm rwho
assumes the machine is down, and does not report users last known
to be logged into that machine.

If a users hasn't typed to the system for a minute or more, then
.Nm rwho
reports this idle time. If a user hasn't typed to the system for
an hour or more, then
the user will be omitted from the output of
.Nm rwho
unless the
.Fl a
flag is given.
