I did your experiment, and did use tty2 and tty3<BR>
<BR>
On the first attempt, it worked with no errors.<BR>
On tty3 the output showed like this:<BR>
<BR>
"<A href="mailto:root@linux">root@linux</A>:~# foobar"<BR>
<BR>
Notice that on this output, it includes the command promt.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Now I did not use the CHOWN command as again, I had no errors.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
So, on tty2 I did the second test using the "2>&1" at the end.<BR>
This also worked. On tty3 the output was this:<BR>
<BR>
"foobar"<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Notice this time there was no command prompt prefixing the "foobar".<BR>
<BR>
So, both tests are completed.<BR>
<BR>
What did they tell you?<BR>
