I believe that the `/usr/ucb/u' command is nothing more than a link
to the `w' command with a different name.  If you look at the source
to `w', it sets the variable firstchar to the first character of the
command name.  If firstchar == 'u', it then only prints the header
information displayed by `w'.  Two commands for the price of one.
