Logged in users on a Linux server are counted twice

Linux and Unix-Like Red Hat
1

Scenario:

  1. Log into a linux server interface as root.
  2. Inititiate an SSH session with the server using Putty and a valid user account (e.g. fakeuser).
  3. Log into TTY2 of the linux server interface using another valid user account (e.g. faketester).

Issue:
With these three login sessions, the linux server reports that there are five (5) users logged into the server and lists the users as:
faketester
fakeuser
fakeuser
faketester
root
The TTY2 and SSH sessions are counted twice.
I am testing this on a RHEL6.5
