Re: USER and LOGNAME environment settings

I don't know if Debian has some special policy for this; but as
far as I know: on a general UNIX box is USER is set by csh (and
tcsh), and LOGNAME is set by login.

Ok, if that's all it is, no problem (I've been writing bash shell
scripts lately ;)

Thanks!

USER and LOGNAME environment settings

[Mike Merten]

Hi,

I was wondering what is the difference between the USER and LOGNAME
environment variables, and under what situations would they be
different?

Thanks,
Mike
