Hi Tom (and ports list by CC), After an upgrade to sudo v1.6.9 on my 6-STABLE workstation, I've noticed some interesting behaviour with regards to interaction between sudo and w.
Check the output below for an example. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo -V Sudo version 1.6.9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ w 7:42PM up 8 days, 7:46, 1 user, load averages: 0.11, 0.10, 0.15 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT pfraser p0 core-server01 7:38PM - w [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sudo -s Last login: Sun Jul 22 19:36:22 on ttyp1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# w 7:42PM up 8 days, 7:46, 0 users, load averages: 0.10, 0.09, 0.15 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# Note there is now no active session listed? If I then drop out of the sudo session, the problem persists. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# exit exit [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ w 7:44PM up 8 days, 7:47, 0 users, load averages: 0.27, 0.15, 0.17 USER TTY FROM LOGIN@ IDLE WHAT [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with the inner workings of all the related systems and can't be of much more assistance (at least initially), but I'm quite welcome to perform any testing you require.
