So if I am logged in as root that I would get the message from the first console also in a ssh session. It is not about trust, but in case of trouble it sometimes happens two people are working on the same issue. So sysadmin 1 log in and become root. He starts to do his thing. Then sysadmin 2 read the same ticket and logs in also. They are not aware that they both work on the same problem. If sysadmin 2 become root and sysadmin 1 sees that because he saw the su to root then he could notify sysadmin 2 that he is already working on it. But set watch = (0 all all ) shows logged in users so that way sysadmin 2 sees that one is already logged in so it helps already. But the su message would be nice.
