    When I do a su - sysadm on one server with Woody I get the error
    message in the subject line. That happens only when su to sysadm is
    being used.

    Apart from the error message everything seems work normally:

    14:40:38 js@mxx:/var/log/exim4$ sudo su - sysadm
    /dev/pts/0: Operation not permitted
    14:40:42 sysadm@mxx:~$
    14:40:42 sysadm@mxx:~$ exit
    logout
    14:41:30 js@mxx:/var/log/exim4$

    What is causing this?

    Regards

    Johann

      a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages,
