RE: user showing up as unset
Last question on this topic I promise.
The program is one that I have very limited control over, and it's
started by the inittab. It is starting an xterm with "xterm -c su -
username". Other than adding the loginuid to the su pam stack is there
any simple way to get the loginuid set to username?

If the program has CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL, then it can change that value.
Modify the source
code to write the uid into that file.
