 Starting with sudo-1.9.14, `use_tty' defaults to true, and `set_utmp'
 also defaults to true, so there are 2 utmp entries, one for the
 current tty/pty and another for the pty created by sudo. Since both
 output to the same location, so you get 2 messages from wall(1).
 Turn either `set_utmp' or `use_tty' off and this issue will go
 away.
