one character shorter than the previous in a stairstep fashion when long
idle times were involved.
A couple of nits:
- spelling/typo fix.
- some of the easier style(9) fixes where it was bothering me.
- Handle 100+ days idle time (ha!). Probably the right thing to do is
to do a snprintf into a buffer and strlen the result rather than doing
hackery on magic numbers.
XXX the wide (and mostly unused) username and tty columns annoy me since
it it could be used for more useful information for the command. We should
actually count the largest username and tty and adjust like 'ls -l' does.
as large as UT_LINESIZE (/usr/include/utmp.h). If the tty name is logged
with this size why isn't the w command reporting it?
(We should probably report the tty/cua prefix then as well ? /phk)

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
This gives us more room to breath with tty names, especially with drivers
that support large numbers of ports.. eg: specialix and digiboard.
This does not actually change the current tty names, it just allows room
for reporting more characters if the drivers use them.
a gethostbyname() on it. That can take a long time... (especially
if the reason the IP address is in there in the first place is because
login/rlogind/telnetd couldn't find it either....)
This patch reduces the gethostbyaddr lookup time to 2 seconds, the idea being
that if the local nameserver knows the answer, it'll answer within that time,
otherwise we dont care... :-)
This change doesn't do anything about whether or not w should do this in the
first place, but at least it will make the current behavior less painful.
