Here's a really odd one. I ssh into my server as myself, and then su to root. At which point something odd happens: a) the output of some shell commands seems to be redirected somewhere other then my xterm; b) when I try to run emacs or vi, I get: "emacs: standard input is not a tty" This doesn't happen when I log in as another user and try it. I've tried comparing the contents of our two home directories, and there appears no difference. Anyone seen this before? --- Andy Holyer, Technical stuff Hedgehog Broadband, 11 Marlborough Place Brighton BN1 1UB 08451 260895 x 241
