How to tell how many users are logged on?

[blondends]

Hi,

I have seen on a few site now that they have a facility where by you can see how many are logged on/ using the site.

Does anyone know how this is done? I thought that they might have just looked at how many users have logged in to the site and then wait for the them to log out... but, they also mention guest users - who don't log in. So how do they work that out ? I can only think of a server varilble that holds that info.

I am using a Unix server running MySQl.

Thanks in advance,

Chris
