Other user SSHed from my hardware
- by Alex
While logged into our HPC cluster I used w to check out who else was logged in. I happened to notice that it looks like there's another user logged in from my (personal) computer;
19:04:47 up 40 days, 6:39, 44 users, load average: 0.10, 0.14, 0.18
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
ME pts/4 zerg.neuron12. 18:55 0.00s 0.09s 0.04s w
SOMEONE_ELSE pts/35 zerg.neuron12. Sat14 2:27m 0.08s 0.08s -bash
Is this something I should be worried out - I tried to kill the other session but had a permission denied message. Is it possible we just both have the same hardware name? I'd have thought that if this were the case the server would give one of us a different name (e.g. zerg1) when we logged in to prevent confusion.
This is not an area I have any experience with, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
