I don't think this is a problem with su. The same occurs when running login in a shell, then logging out. I've seen this bug in FreeBSD since early 4.x, I guess I just never bothered to mention it, thinking someone would notice and fix it. It has certainly scared me a few times, it would be nice if it was corrected.

Someone suggested that this was a utmp(5) problem and might be a problem with the su(1) program. -- Morten RodalReceived on Fri Jul 04 2003 - 04:50:18 UTC
