Well, I'm not sure if you really want to be "creating" /dev/stdout, but the
$USER variable after an su is still your login name before the su.
anthony:/home/anthony:24% su
Password:
flack# echo $USER
anthony
flack#=20
try it with an su -l, or explicitly set $USER to 'root', or even replace
-n"$USER" with -n"root". this is all assuming that -n is specifying some
sort of user privilege which you intend in this example to be root.
if not, please forget this email. :)
-Anthony.
