Correct. I just did it as in the man page, therefore that
one should also be fixed.

However, I'm not that happy with it anyway, because <name> can
either be a username or a terminal name, e.g. 'last root tty0',
and '<name>' does not describe that too well.

Any idea - besides falling back to the old '[<username>..] [tty..]'
(which isn't too bad IMO)?

Have a nice day,
Berny
