Today's OpenPKG 'rc' bourne shell bundled with OpenPKG 1.[0-2] prefers 'whoami' to discover the username, but will use 'wh= o' as the next alternative. It seems that you've learned this yourself the hard way, because running 'who am i' does not return the correct username in some cases. I expect that a fully rewritten 'rc' program will be bundled with OpenPKG 2= .0, and the bug you reported will then be solved. Until then, the work around is to truly log in as root or have the 'whoami' command appear before 'who' according to the PATH variable of your environment. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development Team, Application Services Cable & Wireless Deutschland GmbH --DIOMP1UsTsWJauNi Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia+4K iQEVAgUBPkt6tVuYv80UoVTdAQHh/Qf9ESBBsxdWAeUNKf6fTfalI3XEpM6Tam7s Kj9dRW0AJAttl/nANFS7hg5hV1jHuZVGxAUjqQDsgEqk+wl9sMX0z8ieDi9PRVRU N9GuDJyQBeK/yKnah+SKrxPB854Ki5H8bVw2jLXq+PDMLfGLievdnckGZbCoqti/ FRtv74j7++eJRNOlAxDhKdZTJr338+pMkP5ZSTFRd9udhKxrf7/fj3hc/M0TjwVv Akyv0NboQKSkJxdR4NIBMkvuCvF9kSAkrex2w/wzO29U5CEtNqhw4fZH326xpv30 bkOidOSW9YtzPQJ2iQYhbHhxfi4Rgq9owoKE8dnvRJcdPxKSVsimAA== =QFgB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --DIOMP1UsTsWJauNi-- ______________________________________________________________________ The OpenPKG Project www.openpkg.org Developer Communication List [EMAIL PROTECTED]
