However, when logging in on the console (or when doing "su -c 'keyinfo martin'"), I get "93 de98558". As it turns out, the former is root's keyinfo, not martin's. IMO keyinfo should detect my user id. Yes, I have read in skey.access(5) that ..."an invocation of login(1) in a pseudo-tty (e.g. from within xterm(1) or screen(1)"... can cause problems, but the keyinfo page says nothing about that. It is however not a security risk to see other people's keyinfo (you could simply try to enter "root" at the logion prompt and you would see the same info). >How-To-Repeat: Hmmm. Dunno if it's sufficient to do (at the console) a keyinit for a user and for root, and then try keyinfo in an xterm? >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
