pterm uses two processes rather than one. What's going on? ---------------------------------------------------------- Like other terminal emulators, pterm is setgid utmp, so that it can record your login in the utmp, wtmp, and lastlog files. Rather than holding this extra privilege while it runs so that it can record you logging out as well, it forks a helper process to handle this task and then drops privileges. Although this is different from other terminal emulators, the extra process is there by design, not a bug. -- Colin Watson Fri, 08 Nov 2002 19:27:27 +0000
