Hello Everyone, I have this peculiar problem where in who does not list the right output or even no output. This is however not the case when I login over telnet or even HPUX Secure Shell (built on OpenSSH version 4.3p2) (OpenSSH_4.3p2-hpn, OpenSSL 0.9.7i 14 Oct 2005 HP-UX Secure Shell-A.04.30.007, HP-UX Secure Shell version) Here is the sample when using OpenSSH 4.5p1: After login with my user id and switching to root, I issue following commands: [root@bdhp4639:/root] # who -m [root@bdhp4639:/root] # who am i [root@bdhp4639:/root] # whoami root [root@bdhp4639:/root] # who bi5822 pts/3 Dec 18 06:16 Now I logout and issue same commands: [root@bdhp4639:/root] # exit logout [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ who -m [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ who am i [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ whoami az8793 [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ Notice that I am not identified as my user id; az8793 and user bi5822 is not even logged on. I have moved /var/adm/wtmp and wtmps and touched them already. I am running OpenSSH v4.5p1 and OpenSSL 0.9.8d on HPUX 11iv2 IA64: [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ ssh -V OpenSSH_4.5p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7l 28 Sep 2006 [az8793@bdhp4639:/home/az8793] $ openssl version OpenSSL 0.9.8d 28 Sep 2006 Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Sharad Saraswat ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
