Hi, Thanks for reply, This is the exact scenario: When I use the command "ssh admin@host", the user is authenticated by a custom Pam module, and it's given the UID, GID and shell from a custom nss module. The shell is also a custom CLI, which needs the username - not the UID - to operate well. I can't get the username from UID since there is no one-to-one correspondence between them. Also the commands: who, id and .. doesn't give me the username, since there is no tty for the session.

But suppose I want to execute a remote command "ssh admin@host > myprog", I want to get the username inside the myprog. The command > "who -m", doesn't work because no tty is created for the user. > How can I get the username in this case? > > Regards, > -- > __ \ /_\\_-//_ Mohsen Alimomeni > -- __ \ /_\\_-//_ Mohsen Alimomeni
