Hi,
I can reproduce this on a fresh installed Lenny box (mung'd host/users):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ 0-$ su
homer:/home/guard/ 0-# iexit <- i'm typing 'iptables', but get
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ 0-$ ptables -L kicked out almost immediately
-bash: ptables: command not found
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/ 0-$
/var/log/auth.log displays:
Dec 3 17:14:16 host su[2590]: Successful su for root by user
Dec 3 17:14:16 host su[2590]: + pts/0 guard:root
Dec 3 17:14:16 host su[2590]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for
user root by user(uid=1000)
Dec 3 17:14:18 host su[2590]: pam_unix(su:session): session closed for
user root
Just like Nicolas wrote in #147 in this bugreport: "sometimes, I get a
"exit" message and return to the original shell, sometimes, I get a
prompt but it fails after I type the first character, sometimes, I get a
valid shell" Which of the 3 happens seems completely random.
I've seen this behaviour on one other box, but on another dozen I
administer daily (with afaik identical configuration) it does never ever
happen.
If I can help or do more specific test, let me know.
