Description Derek Tattersall 2000-02-18 15:27:54 UTC
with user1 logged in on pts2, having gotten there by su from root, who
displays root as logged in on pts2.

Comment 1 Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2001-05-15 17:11:04 UTC
This is the correct behavior IMO - root still owns the process which ran su 
(and owns the terminal).
