Why do I see multiple users with the same name as an output of "users"

Recently, I found a peculiar thing when I typed "users" in the terminal. There were three users with the same name. After restart(power went down) I now see only one user there. Is this normal and why it can be happening? Why are there duplicate users sometimes?

Well now I'm confused. My xterm (xfce4-terminal) has that option disabled but I still get a user entry for each tab.
OT: you can run who to get a better idea of what each user is associated with. Eg. with Xorg on tty1 and terminal open with two tabs:
$ who
testing tty1 2013-12-11 08:55
testing pts/0 2013-12-11 08:55 (:0.0)
testing pts/1 2013-12-11 15:51 (:0.0)
Oh there is another option on mine besides "Run command as a login shell" called "Update login records when command is launched" I have them both disabled. Check for a second option maybe.

Bug: BLZ-96 - When sending a HttpService request from ActionScript with multiple headers with the same name, it causes a ClassCastException in the server
QA: Yes - try again with legacy-collection true and false.
Doc: No
Checkintests: Pass
Details: Another try in fixing this bug. When legacy-collection is false, Actionscript Array on the client becomes Java Array on the server and my fix yesterday assumed this case. However, when legacy-collection is true, Actionscript Array becomes Java ArrayList on the server. So added code to handle this case.

Hi all!
Just to post the solution to this if anyone ever runs accross this thread...
For some reason i had it bad the first time, don't have time right now to see why but here is what worked for me:
HashMap primaryFile = new HashMap();
primaryFile.put("fileContent", bFile);
primaryFile.put("fileName", uploadedFile.getFilename());
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("primaryFile", primaryFile);
HashMap customDocMetadata = new HashMap();
HashMap [] properties = new HashMap[1];
HashMap customMetadataPropertyRoom = new HashMap();
customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("name", "xRoom");
customMetadataPropertyRoom.put("value", "SOME ROOM");
properties[0] = customMetadataPropertyRoom;
customDocMetadata.put("property", properties);
operationBinding.getParamsMap().put("CustomDocMetaData", customDocMetadata);
Basically an unbounded wsdl type is an array of objects (HashMaps), makes sense, i thought i had it like this before, must have messed up somewhere...
Good luck all!

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and...

Is it possible to search for multiple folders with the same name and then select them all and change the permissions on just those folders .i.e. Search for the budget folders in all client folders and lock them down to just the project managers. Without having to go to each folder and apply the permissions.

XOQ-01950: Cube contains multiple BuildSpecifications with the same name.

Hi All ,
While executing the Maintain Cube option it is throwing below issue : Any Clue ?
XOQ-01950: The AWCubeOrganization for cube "NN_OLAP_POC.MARKET_SALES_CUBE" contains multiple BuildSpecifications with the same name.
Thanks,
DxP

This error should only show up when you create a cube (by importing XML), not when you maintain it. So I will assume that this is what you mean.
If you import XML that refers to an OLAP object that already exists, then the new definition overrides the old one. The only exception to this rule is the BuildSpecification object. This kind of object is named, but it does not follow these conventions (for messy implementation reasons). If you import XML that has a BuildSpecificaiton with the same name as one that already exists, then you will trigger the error you see. Here is an example of the relevant XML.
<BuildSpecifications>
<![CDATA[BUILD SPEC LOAD_AND_AGGREGATE
LOAD NO SYNCH,
SOLVE
) ]]>
</BuildSpecifications>The workaround is to delete this section from the XML before importing it.

Can iTunes sync multiple songs with the same name?

My iTunes library has multiple songs with the same name (but they point to different files on the filesystem).
Curiously when iTunes syncs to my iPhone it will only ever sync two of the files, even if more exists. I suspect what is happening is described below, but I have no way of verifying it:
Let's assume I have 5 songs named IdenticalName, on the filesystem these are named IdenticalName.mp3, IdenticalName 1.mp3, IdenticalName 2.mp3, and so on.
I suspect iTunes is syncing the filename without a number postfix, and the file with the "1" postfix and not continuing with the rest of the files.
Has anyone seen similar behaviour? Did you find a workaround (other than renaming your tracks)?

can you manually discover the new instances on the new server?
Then just make sure the name that appears in Grid Control is different.
e.g. prod.world is on server A and B. When you discover in Grid control, you can make it prod_B and you will see the latter without any problem.

Hi again,
this may be old news to some people, but I just realized we can have the desired benefits I originally listed (encapsulation, reuse, maintainability, security) TODAY by using pipelined functions and using the table() function in Apex report region queries.
So the report query basically becomes, for example (if get_employees is a pipelined function)
select * from table(my_package.get_employees(:p1_deptno))
The only downside compared to a (weakly typed) sys_refcursor is that you have to define the type you are returning in your package spec (or as an SQL type). So it's a bit more coding, but it's still worth it for the other benefits it provides.
I like Apex even better now! :-)

Writing to multiple tags with the same name

Hi,
I am writing to multiple tags with the same name but in different groups. I have noticed only the tag from the first group gets updated. How can I write to a tag in a specific group in this scenario?
Regards,
Chanti.

Heres what I found.
When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<Group>.<TagName>", the outcome was "Message
Could not add "<Group>.<TagName>" to the response list.
Message
No tags selected."
When I tried "http://<server>:<port>/XMII/Illuminator?Server=<Name of the TAG dataServer>&Mode=CurrentWrite&TagName=<TagName>", it seemed like it worked fine.
Any thoughts?

2 Users with the same name/shortname on the same machine

Hello,
What will happen if:
There is a local user called Bob and a network user on a server called Bob? Before you even post anything, please let me know if you have actually SEEN this before. I know something will happen, I just don't know what. Again, 2 different users with the same name. YES it is possible to create, but I have not tested it yet. One home is on the local machine and the other is a network home directory. I didn't post this in the server section for this reason...the question is about a client machine running 10.5.4 not server, so it belongs here! Thanks to all who help and my guess is a dialog box pops up with a choice of network or local? Not sure, but it is going to be quite an interesting topic.

Thank you both. It seems I need to test this because it doesn't seem anyone has ever run into this situation. The first thing I need to ask is will it do any damage to the system files if a user logs in with the same resolving name?I know I know the UIDs are different, but maybe have the same shortname? Not sure if it will work. The network users authenticate via LDAP and the server is set to an Open Directory Master. Now as for the client machine:
#1 - If I create both test users (local and network), will I be able to set the network as a Mobile Home Directory even though there is an existing home folder for the local user?
#2 - I want one specific user to have the same login name and password, but a different login "reaction" when the user logs in depending on the location. For example, I have a current network user Bob, password 1234 who is logged in and connected to the server. He finishes working on his project at the office and then goes home for the day. When he gets home, I want his to be able to login with the user name Bob, connecting to the local account on his machine. I DO NOT want to user PHDs, but rather have two separate home folders for the same resolving login user name! I know it is a lot to ask for but, here is my next question...
#3 - If I create two different home folders for the same resolving name, but they are accessed in two different locations, one with a server LDAP authentication and one locally (127.0.0.1), will it work?
I really appreciate the replies, but I am looking for more of straight forward answers rather than an example and background information. Thank you.

Two computers and two users with the same name. Can't copy files anymore...

Hi all, after a user migration to my new iMac I had to make a change of the shortname. I knew it was not a good idea but had no choice otherwise I had to wait other 3 hours to migrate data again...
Anyway, I managed to change my shortname with success, but one strange thing happened afterwards... I have two macs networked, both have an admin user with the same shortname/real name, 'gillo' (I followed the procedure in one of these two, the Intel iMac. The other, a Powerbook, was not modified).
While previously I had no problems in copying files from the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook TO the user 'gillo' on the iMac, after the shortname change I'm not anymore able to do it. The error I get is:
"The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items"
Doesn't matter where I put the files, Desktop, Documents, even the Drop Box, I always get the same error.
I went through some checks and this is the 'log':
- The files/folders in the iMac 'gillo' directory are not locked.
- The files can be copied without troubles to the dirs of another admin user
- Permissions are the same as the other admin user and owner/group are the correct ones.
- Both Macs have 10.4.6
- The 'gillo' user on the iMac can copy files FROM the user 'gillo' on the Powerbook.
- I repaired permissions and the hard disk booting from the install DVD.
- I tried to change permissions of the directories (such as Desktop) on the iMac 'gillo' user allowing everybody to read/write. Also a no go.
Anybody went through this already? Or maybe something similar not directly related to the short name change?

Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for. What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

Multiple volumes with the same name

If I look at my /Volumes folder using Finder>Go>Go to Folder.. I see seven different volumes all starting with the same name:
MyName
MyName 1
MyName-1
MyName-2
MyName-3
MyName-4
MyName-5
(as well as my external drive and iMac HD)
MyName has a folder icon, and contains 1 folder called Backup which then has my 1Password.keychain in 7 different versions.
MyName 1 and MyName-1 are aliases and have icons for shared volumes. The only differences I can see are that in "MyName 1", the folders for Backup, Groups and Library are all displayed as aliases, whereas in "MyName-1" they are displayed as standard folders.
MyName-2 through MyName-5 all have folder icons and are empty.
I can understand that I could have a local and remote copy of my iDisk, hence the "MyName 1" and "MyName-1" volumes, but why all the others?
Should I delete any of MyName-2 through -5?
Is any of this slowing down iDisk syncing or searching?
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem
an external firewire drive "232 GB" is gaining an extra, sequentially numbered, mountpoint in /Volumes/ each time it is unplugged and re-plugged.
This is a bit of a pain as Xtorrent is downloading to a folder on this drive and so, whenever it is unplugged, I have to either;
restart all the downloads or,
before launching xtorrent, go into /volumes/ and delete the last mountpoint (so the system automatically adds the one Xtorrent is expecting)
just noticed you're in Sheffield too, maybe it's a local problem....
no idea what's causing it

Connect to one wireless network when multiple networks with the same name

Hi all,
I'm at a location where there are two networks with the name (e.g.) "wireless". One uses WEP and one uses WPA. The WEP network is weaker than the WPA network, so my Mac tries to connect to the WPA network, even though I have manually setup the wireless network with WEP security (after trying to connect it asks for a WPA password). Is there a way that I can connect to a wireless network by MAC Address, or some way for me to tell the Macbook to ignore the WPA network? The problem is that the SSID is the same, it seems.
Thanks,
Nate

The person (the landlord) isn't tech-savvy at all.
That is clearly obvious as
1. They would not be using WEP
2. They would setup a different SSID
WEP is not secure and can be cracked in minutes using tools readily available on the internet. If a hacker gain access to that network they could run other tools and hijack the dns and then you could be visiting sites on your mac that are completely bogus but look real.
Also it is common trick that hackers use is to setup an access point nearby with the sane SSID to capture details from users that join their network thinking they have joined their own network. Again the hacker can hijack the dns and monitor all your browsing and capture details.
The fact that someone has setup an SSID nearby with the same name would make me very suspicious.
I would treat your landlord's network as an untrusted network same as when your using a public wifi like coffebucks.

Issue with multiple Albums with the same name. (i.e. Greatest Hits)

I have multiple albums all with the same name (i.e. Greatest Hits). iTunes mixes all of the albums as one. All of the track 1s together, all track 2s together .... Is there a way for iTunes to recognize that there is more than 1 album with the same name? and to keep each album seperate.
Thanks

You need to let iTunes know that they are different albums. The trick I use that work fine is to simply add the artist name of which it is the Greatest Hits in the "Album Artist".
That way, iTunes will keep your album together.

Having multiple nodes with the same name in JTree!!!???

Hi!
I want to be able to have folders or files with the same name in different locations in my JTree. But if I do so the last one always overwrites the previous one.
I have a vector with strings like root\aaa\bbb\ccc\ddd.doc, root\aaa\bbb\eee.doc, root\aaa\ccc\fff.doc etc. In this case ccc\ddd.doc out of the first string would disapear.
In this post you can see how I add the nodes:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=54920
Is this because it adds everything in the same level or what? A solution/workaround would be much appreciated.

DefaultMutableTreeNode current=findObject(parent,subStr);
if (current==null) {
DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode(subStr);
parent.add(node);
parent=node;
else {
parent=current;
parent=root;
return tree;
