Is there a way I can have my system beep me when someone logins to the system? This would save me from having to do a "who" constantly.

you could tail /var/log/messages i believe and grep for connections than if a connection string is found echo -e "\a"

There's a program called whowatch that should do something like what you're looking for. I'm not sure if it has a beep feature, but it might. If you want to write something yourself, you can just write a script that checks the wtmp file...
