I will not call this a "bug", because usually when people cry bug they just mean they did not understand a certain behavior. :) Still, when I "su -l" to root from, say, the user "maintenance", and then issue a "shutdown -p now", the shutdown message sent around does not appear to come from "root", but from the underlying "maintenance" user: ---------------------------- shutdown: [pid 4184] asarian-host: {root} % *** FINAL System shutdown message from maintenance@asarian-host.net *** System going down IMMEDIATELY ---------------------------- (Uh-oh, there goes my uptime!) Should it be an anomaly, it would certainly be one I can live with. :) For the sake of curiosity, though, why is the shutdown message not being broadcasted from "root" in this case?
