Has anybody experienced or heard about this kind of odd things as follows? Case I. UserA started an xterm and ended up as userB. Case II. One user found out that he was in someone else's Emacs session while he was still trying to log in. (This happended when he was using a terminal server to connect to the timesharing machine, sun4.) Is this a unix security problem? Does it have something to do with pty ownership? Can some knowledgable person explain how this could happen and any solutions to this problem? Thanks in advance ... -- Hao Z. -- Internet:haozhou@acsu.buffalo.edu BITNET:haozhou%acsu.buffalo.edu@UBVM.BITNET UUCP: uunet!acsu.buffalo.edu!haozhou
