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 -- --------------- Kenneth L.
