[...] Hello, The cause of this is this that since very recently invoking su uses the PAM module pam_limits.so which in turn resets the nice-level to 0. http://bugs.debian.org/311058 http://bugs.debian.org/241663 As a workaround you can disable the entry for pam_limits.so in /etc/pam.d/su. (Gaining that the nice-level is kept, but losing safeguardlimits imposed on processes run with su.) cu andreas -- "See, I told you they'd listen to Reason," [SPOILER] Svfurlr fnlf, fuhggvat qbja gur juveyvat tha.
