I've got 5.2 (5200-05) on a 7025-F80 seemly working well but the only
user it can see logged in with the w command is the one on the serial
console.

bash-2.05b# w
11:38PM up 6:02, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.04
User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
root tty0 11:38PM 0 0 0 -ksh

same thing on an ssh connection (ssh user doesn't show up, just serial
console):
# w

11:38PM up 6:02, 1 user, load average: 0.02, 0.04, 0.04

User tty login@ idle JCPU PCPU what

root tty0 11:38PM 0 0 0 /usr/bin/w64

64 bit env anabled. Hmmm, perhaps it's an ssh problem??

If the sshd was built on AIX 4.3.x or lower then the utmp structures
are different, so sshd won't update them on 5.x. If that's the case
then you just need to recompile sshd on 5.x (or obtain one that was).

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.

Yup, that was it. It was the only thing I hadn't recompiled from 4.3.3
because it seemed to be working ok...

Thanks..
