Package: login Version: 1:4.1.1-1 Severity: wishlist Sometimes just after I do "su - nobody", I get instantly logged back out. It's like I accidentally sent a ^D to the shell.
At first I thought it might be my emacs shell buffer sending junk, but it happens in xterm too. And it happens or doesn't happen without any pattern as to when. And there's nothing funny in /var/log/auth.log. Sorry if you can't reproduce it. Just wanted to let you know. Below we see one bad and two goods. # su - nobody No directory, logging in with HOME=/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ logout <--------------I did not type this. 17:02 ~# su -l nobody No directory, logging in with HOME=/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ exit logout 17:02 ~# su -l nobody No directory, logging in with HOME=/ [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ exit logout Yes, I typed the "exit"s. -l or - have the same probability. Maybe there's a race condition that sometimes kills such a shell? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
