Hi,
    I am looking for some way to extract original user for a given
process. For example,
A user types following command

i   ) guest log's in as "aaa"
ii  ) su - "bbb"
iii ) su - "ccc"
iv ) ./a.out

I want to find the actual user i.e. "aaa".

Why?


Can this be acheived on Linux 2.4.20?

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure.

If you could do that, then "su" would kind of loose its meaning...
