    Logging out on one computer will not log you out on the second computer. For example, I'm currently logged in at work and at home. If I were to log out at home, I'd still be logged in at work.

    In fact, you can even be logged in to different PM domains independantly. For example, I'm logged into to perlmonks.org and www.perlmonks.org. Logging out of one will not log me out of the other. ( There used to be a bug (incorrect cookie) which prevented me from logging out of www.perlmonks.org without going to perlmonks.org, but that has been fixed. )

      hi ikegami,

      I understand your scenarioes and your well explanations.
      To add more information I have added the test step in detail.
      * Login into perlmonks. <user_1> ( ensure that I have not logged in anyother system and anyother domains ).
      * logout from perlmonks. <user_1> logged out.
      * login into perlmonks as <user_2>.
      * please see the list of users logged in perlmonks.
      It still shows that <user_1> also in the list.
      Hope this would help to understand the scenario more.

        If that's your problem, then anonymonk already answered your question. Other Users does not list who is logged in.

    If you are more specific about why you think it shows you as still logged in we could probably explain. I would guess that you where still showing in the monks nodelet, in which case the explanation is probably just that it doesn't update constantly and you rechecked it agian inside that time interval.
