   NAME
         rusers - who's logged in on local machines

   SYNOPSIS
         rusers [ -n <nettype> ] [ -ahilu ] [ host ...  ]

   DESCRIPTION
         The rusers command produces output similar to who(1), but for remote
         machines. It broadcasts on the local network, and prints the
         responses it receives. Normally the listing is in the order that
         responses are received, but this order can be changed by specifying
         one of the options listed below. When host arguments are specified,
         rusers will only query the list of specified hosts, and not
         broadcast.

         The default is to print out the names of the users logged in.  When
         the -l flag is given, additional information is printed for each
         user, including idle time, when user logged in, and tty.

         A remote host will only respond if it is running the rusersd(1M)
         daemon, which may be started up from inetd(1M) or listen(1M).

   OPTIONS
         -a    Give a report for a machine even if no users are logged on.

         -h    Sort alphabetically by host name.

         -i    Sort by idle time.

         -l    Give a longer listing in the style of who(1).

         -n    Specify the transport type to use. Takes precedence over the
               enviroment variable NETPATH.

         -u    Sort by number of users.
