Because it is not the same as logging in. Some of the standard POSIX tests determine using the relevant calls who has logged in. Often it is better to telnet to the localhost rather than su, but this may not work for you in your chroot, in which case you need to find a better way to log the test user in with the controlling terminal (in some of the other chroot'd envs Chris had a sshd running to login to). regards Andrew
