  • sudo makes me appear to be logged in again

    From Alain D D Williams@21:1/5 to All on Tue Nov 12 03:10:01 2024
    I am running Debian 12.7

    I logged in via ssh at 16.14 and then went: sudo -s

    If I run "w" I now appear to be logged in twice (1.52 is the current time):

    addw pts/0 2001:4d48:ad51:2 16:14 40.00s 0.02s 0.01s sudo -s
    addw pts/1 2001:4d48:ad51:2 01:52 3.00s 0.00s 0.01s sudo -s

    So I am now on a different tty and the old one shows idle time.

    I get similar results if I run "who".

    ps shows interesting results:

    # ps -f
    UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
    root 28669 28644 0 01:52 pts/1 00:00:00 sudo -s
    root 28670 28669 0 01:52 pts/1 00:00:00 /bin/bash
    root 28979 28670 0 01:59 pts/1 00:00:00 ps -f
    # ps -fp28644
    UID PID PPID C STIME TTY TIME CMD
    root 28644 1819 0 01:51 pts/0 00:00:00 sudo -s

    What is happening ?

    man sudo..........

    -s, --shell
    Run the shell specified by the SHELL environment variable if it is set or the shell specified by
    the invoking user's password database entry. If a command is specified, it is passed to the
    shell as a simple command using the -c option. The command and any args are concatenated, sepa-
    rated by spaces, after escaping each character (including white space) with a backslash ('\') ex-
    cept for alphanumerics, underscores, hyphens, and dollar signs. If no command is specified, an
    interactive shell is executed. Most shells behave differently when a command is specified as
    compared to an interactive session; consult the shell's manual for details.
