Hi all,

  I am running 0.1 w/pk.0.2.3 and XFree.  When logged into the console 
as userX and then issue a "su userY", userY doesn't 'own' the console.
It will not let me run emacs or any other program that creates a new 
window.  I can't do a 'mesg y' either.

Any ideas?  Known problem, or something I didn't configure correctly?

Ken
