The "sessions" table holds who is currently logged on, and this table is queried during by the User module to generate that block. You can clear that table and it should reset your counters to zero. Note that doing this will log everyone out who is logged in at the moment you clear the database and those users would have to re-log in, but otherwise should do no harm.
You may want to look at the sessions expiration settings in the settings.php file, but for 6 hangers-on it's likely not a big problem.

Hi,
I check my web-site frequently and noticed there are *always* at least 6 guests in "who is online". It is strange, because I have been observing it for about month, and it never drops below this value. I do not believe there are really at least 6 guests all the time. But number of users is counted correctly.
I think the guest-counter got somehow screwed up, so how can I reset it?
