Case I. UserA started an xterm and ended up as userB.
Case II. One user found out that he was in someone else's Emacs
session while he was still trying to log in.
(This happended when he was using a terminal server to connect
to the timesharing machine.)
Is this a unix security problem? Does it have something to do with
pty ownership? Can some knowledgable person explain how this could
happen? Thanks in advance ...
