Bug or missing feature in who

Hello,

I think, I detected a bug or at least a missing feature in the "who"
command. Assume the following situation:

- user1 is logged in. a "who" will show me this user.
- after that, user1 logs in as another user or as root via "su".

Unfortunately, in this situation, the "who" command doesn't list the
user logged in via "su". Is this a bug, a missing feature, or is it a
wanted behaviour of who? "who /var/log/wtmp/" lists the logged in root
user, but it also lists users already logged out. So, is there a way to
tell "who" to list the users logged in via su as well?

Best wishes,

Alex Schestag
