Hi Jeff, While at Beloit I had a problem with @LOGNAME. It only showed up when a Datatel program was calling another Datatel program (or something like that). I know it had something to do with a problem with Uniobjects and PAM authentication. The work-around was to add the DMI username and password in a DMIEXTS record. We used a Datatel subroutine to control access to budgets for reports such as the trial balance report. Turned out the report thought everyone was "datatel". Worse yet, at the time we found this out, the user datatel was setup to have wide open budget access.
I'm wondering if Datatel's strange world of listeners is involved in your case. On the other hand; going to Unidata 7.2.x was the solution for our budget access problem as I was able to undo the above work-around. --- On Thu, 6/17/10, Jeffrey Butera <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Jeffrey Butera <[email protected]> > Subject: [U2] @LOGNAME on Unidata > To: "U2 Users List" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, June 17, 2010, 2:04 PM > 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.
