who seems to loose interest in the fact that tty1 is also being used.

initially i's shown after a restart but after a while it is missed.
maybe a kernel problem, maybe not :

grobbebol:~ $ w
8:42am up 4 days, 4:42, 6 users, load average: 0.34, 0.18, 0.06
USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE JCPU PCPU WHAT
root tty2 - Mon 9am 38.00s 0.82s 0.69s -bash
bengel tty3 - Sun10pm 0.00s 7.21s 0.04s w

grobbebol:~ $ who
root tty2 Jul 16 09:01
bengel tty3 Jul 15 22:46
bengel tty4 Jul 15 04:13
bengel tty5 Jul 15 23:01
bengel tty6 Jul 16 09:19
roel tty8 Jul 15 22:31

I have seen this with many, if not all 2.4 kernels. this is 2.4.6.
tty1 _is_ active :

[....]
root 3857 0.0 0.4 2812 1120 tty1 R 08:46 0:00 ps aux

so.. kernel problem or sh-utils ?
