[Bug 1323068] Re: -su: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device

[Carl-Johan Sveningsson]

Umm, confirmed on  Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, recently updated from 12...
what's this about and how can I fix it? Seems harmless so far though.

cj at rocksteady:~$ sudo su minecraft -
[sudo] password for cj:
no talloc stackframe at ../source3/param/loadparm.c:4864, leaking memory
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell
minecraft at rocksteady:/mnt/data/home/cj$ script /dev/null
Script started, file is /dev/null
minecraft at rocksteady:/mnt/data/home/cj$ screen -dR

I realize I get some nutty memory leak before the other dude though.
I'll investigate.
