Description Steven W. Orr 2002-09-14 18:27:51 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020513

Description of problem:
If I run a batch command from an account that I did an su - to, the command runs
as the user that I first logged into as.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log in as user1
2.su - user2
3.Run a command via batch.

	

Actual Results:  Mail is sent to user1 instead of to user2


Expected Results:  Mail should have been sent to user2

Additional info:

batch is using getlogin(3) ro get the delivery address instead of using getuid
and then getpwuid.
