Public bug reported:
A simple c program in my machine demonstrate what is happening.
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) {
char *name;
name = getlogin();
if (name != NULL)
printf("%s\n", name);
else
printf("name is null\n");
return 0;
}
I'm just compiling and running it and name aways come as NULL;
Note that i'm not a C developer, i got this when my python tests broke with
os.getlogin.
Thank you
