A) sometimes as root I echo to /proc/self/loginuid and it is ignored.
Why?
Show me an example.
There is no error message
Not sure if '>' outputs error messages.
B) always if I echo to /proc... as non root it is ignored (as it
should be)
but no message is generated; shouldn't it say EPERM?
Not sure the '>' outputs errors. You could strace it and see that the errno
was returned and the shell did nothing with it.
C) I put pam_loginuid in my gdm pam config but my xterm windows still
have
-1 in loginuid (I have rebooted)
How are you starting your xterm windows? If I use gnome terminal all is well.
Even if I start an xterm window from it everything is still OK.
