Well, actually, that gets all processes on the local machine, rather than
all _users_ on a _remote_ machine.  To get users, you can say,
	[!SONS OP:EXEC]
There'll be a few bogus ones, like some of OP's daemons; to get rid of those,
you'll have to re-route it to a file and search the file for "CON" (console
process).

To get processes on a remote machine, use
	[!PIDS <machine-name>]
assuming you've got Xodiac and RMA running.  However, any process can be
referred to as <machine-name>:<process-id>, so !PIDS isn't necessary.

So, all together, you want,
	WHO [!SONS <machine-name>:OP:EXEC]

All of this assumes you've got Xodiac and RMA on both the local and remote
machine.  If you don't, I'm afraid you're stuck trying to port UNIX's rwho,
or writing your own.
