I always shutdown my computer with init 0. The problem I'm now having is that with the command 'w' I have 236 users :lol: , but the list shows only 10 users. My question is how do I automaticly logout idle users when I invoke init 0 and more general how do I logout users.

This was actually a bug in gentoo's base system.
Update (make sure you emerge rsync first), then rm -rf /var/run/utmpx, and then reboot.

I'm sure there's away to do this without rebooting, but it's the least complicated thing to do.

My favourite method of logging out users is to just kill their shell. :)

Thanks, they're all gone now, killing the shell's was also my idea, but there were no shells running for the users, 'w' only showed the users.

After the reboot it still shows over 240 users. I have done a emerge rsync, removed utmp and utmpx and then rebooted.

Shoot... I completely forgot. After the update you should have some config files that need attending to. You need to copy /etc/conf.d/._cfg????_bootmisc over /etc/conf.d/bootmisc to update it to the latest version.
Then rm -rf /var/run/utmpx and reboot.

The bug was in the old bootmisc file.
