I'm not sure if this is a sudo bug or a -STABLE bug. I can only reproduce this on -STABLE with sudo 1.6.9. -CURRENT with 1.6.9 and 1.6.8p12 works fine and -STABLE with sudo 1.6.8p12 works fine. I did a little more experimenting and saw this behavior below. -STABLE: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ last tom ttyp2 bofh Sun Jul 22 16:16 still logged in ... [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ sudo -s # last | head -n 5 root ttyp2 Sun Jul 22 16:16 - 16:16 (00:00) tom ttyp2 bofh Sun Jul 22 16:16 - 16:16 (00:00) ... # ^D [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ last root ttyp2 Sun Jul 22 16:16 - 16:16 (00:00) tom ttyp2 bofh Sun Jul 22 16:16 - 16:16 (00:00) -CURRENT: [EMAIL PROTECTED] tom]$ last tom ttyp1 bofh Sun Jul 22 16:18 still logged in ...
