I have seen this in the past where the file wtmp usually found in /var/adm is corrupt or too big ( over 2 meg ). To correct this just type at the unix prompt
> wtmp And it will clear the file. I recommend doing this just before a reboot of the system. -Dan -----Original Message----- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Butera Sent: Thursday, June 17, 2010 2:04 PM To: U2 Users List Subject: [U2] @LOGNAME on Unidata We recently migrated from Unidata 7.1.8 on Solaris to Unidata 7.2.5 on RedHat. We make use of @LOGNAME quite a bit to determine a person's username. Since our migration, however, we've documented some cases where @LOGNAME is not returning the proper username - it returns someone else's. What's bizarre is that most of the time it's right, but occasionally it's not. Has anyone seen or heard of this? When we had a report of this (with documentation) I thought it was weird. Today we just got a call about a different problem which I'm 99% sure is tied to this since it makes use of @LOGNAME. Like the above, sometimes it's correct, sometime it's wrong. -- Jeff Butera, Ph.D. Manager of ERP Systems Hampshire College jbut...@hampshire.edu 413-559-5556 _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
