/dev/pts/0: Operation not permitted

[Johann Spies <jspies@sun.ac.za>]

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

      Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to
      the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before 
      him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and 
      a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, 
      should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting 
      dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom 
      that which shall not be destroyed."
