Concerning the problem ftp'ing and su'ing from within xterm, David
Battle (battle@utkcs2.cs.utk.edu) suggested ensuring that xterm was
setuid root, which it was.  He also suggested rlogin'ing from within
xterm to the same machine xterm was running on, i.e., "rlogin
`hostname`" in the offending xterm.  This did the trick.
