What is causing this?
The culprit was the following line in ~/.bash_profile:

Commenting
When I do a su - sysadm on one server with Woody I get the error
message in the subject line. That happens only when su to sysadm is
being used.
Apart from the error message everything seems work normally:

/dev/pts/0: Operation

Probably a 'mesg n' in /etc/profile or somesuch. After a su,
/dev/pts/0 is still owned by the previous userid.
