All that puts in my syslog is this: Jan 7 15:46:43 gytha kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] Jan 7 15:48:40 gytha kernel: parport0: PC-style at 0x378 [SPP] Jan 7 16:02:03 gytha PAM_pwdb[1326]: (su) session opened for user nobody by (uid=99)
As you can see, only the middle line falls in that script session. I have the same on sysloged to tty8 which set to *.*, so no oops.
