I am running Debian 12.7 I logged in via ssh at 16.14 and then went: sudo -s
If I run "w" I now appear to be logged in twice (1.52 is the current time): addw pts/0 2001:4d48:ad51:2 16:14 40.00s 0.02s 0.01s sudo -s addw pts/1 2001:4d48:ad51:2 01:52 3.00s 0.00s 0.01s sudo -s So I am now on a different tty and the old one shows idle time. I get similar results if I run "who". ps shows interesting results: # ps -f UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 28669 28644 0 01:52 pts/1 00:00:00 sudo -s root 28670 28669 0 01:52 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/bash root 28979 28670 0 01:59 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -f # ps -fp28644 UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD root 28644 1819 0 01:51 pts/0 00:00:00 sudo -s What is happening ? -- Alain Williams Linux/GNU Consultant - Mail systems, Web sites, Networking, Programmer, IT Lecturer. +44 (0) 787 668 0256 https://www.phcomp.co.uk/ Parliament Hill Computers.
