Fortunately for all of us, Yuri was so nice to give a use case that a) shows the problem and b) is reproducible. While yours > # su -c 'write root' | cat is not. I tried this as root or as a normal user and it just works. > will fail because write is running as bin and checks who owns Why would write be running as bin? > There's a breaking change in systemd's cron where the standard output > spooler is now owned by root rather than the runas user. write is > checking for this and falling down. That one I tried to reproduce but could not as well. > Yes, pipes have owners. If you know what fstat() does you know this. This just added to offend me some more?
