>Description:
Logged in in an xterm, when I invoke keyinfo, I get
"96 de98629". However, when logging in on the console
(or when doing "su -c 'keyinfo martin'"), I get "93 de98558".
As it turns out, the former is root's keyinfo, not martin's.
IMO keyinfo should detect my user id. Yes, I have read in
skey.access(5) that ..."an invocation of login(1) in a
pseudo-tty (e.g. from within xterm(1) or screen(1)"... can cause
problems, but the keyinfo page says nothing about that.
It is however not a security risk to see other people's keyinfo
(you could simply try to enter "root" at the logion prompt and
you would see the same info).
>How-To-Repeat:
Hmmm. Dunno if it's sufficient to do (at the console) a
keyinit for a user and for root, and then try keyinfo in an xterm?
