On several occasions - but this is the first when I've had time to
look into it - the first few xterms opened in a new session
have been returning the wrong username from getlogin():
getuid() -> 26013 (correct)
getpwuid(getuid()) -> richard (correct)
getlogin() -> _spotlight (wrong)
The terminal ownership is right:
macaroni$ tty
/dev/ttys001
macaroni$ ls -l /dev/ttys001
crw--w---- 1 richard tty 16, 1 Jun 1 12:58 /dev/ttys001
The xterms are run with "xterm -ls".
Any suggestions as to what to look for?
