There appears to be a problem when I su to another user on my system. This change was made sometime in the past week or two and doesn't appear to be fixed in CVS yet... Anyways. The problem is that, say, I log in as 'jobe' and 'su -l freebsd'. A 'w' or 'who' at this point would tell me 'jobe' was logged in, not 'freebsd'. However, now the 'w' or 'who' tells me 'freebsd' is logged in and has '-' as the FROM field. When I log out of 'freebsd' (ie. I become 'jobe' again), I get the following result by running 'w', still showing the 'freebsd' user and the improper 'FROM' field, even though I'm back as 'jobe'. Man, is that clear enough? It sounds confusing to me... Anyways, here's an output of what I'm talking about: 18:28 (6641) jobe@meriadoc:[~]> w 6:29PM up 1 day, 3:34, 2 users, load averages: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT freebsd p0 - 6:28PM - w jobe p1 samwise 10:08AM 8:20 pine -zi 18:29 (6642) jobe@meriadoc:[~]> whoami jobe 18:29 (6643) jobe@meriadoc:[~]>
