This is a long shot, but we had a similar problem on hpux 10. Our
problem was a little different, it only impacted certain users, not
everyone. For certain users, "who -m" would report either multiple
lines or no lines. The problem was in the utmp file, where the user
would have more than one open line. The solution that we got from HP
was to get everyone off the system and null out the system accounting
files.
Like I said, it's a long shot, but it might help. If nothing else, it
would rule out a problem with the utmp file. (I don't know what HP uses
these days, but it's not called utmp anymore, either utmpx or utmps.)

Can you tell me anything? As you can see the -R option works it in only
the -m option on the who command that does not work.

The who command only works, all the options except the m option works.
The
"who -m" is the same as the "who am I" command which is the only option
not
work for the who command. Permission on fine on the who command. Need
to
know what file that the m option uses that the other options do not
use.

1. Try "who"
2. Try "who -m" the blank space matters... on the machine here
3. find the program "who" via
# find . -name who
./usr/bin/who
#cd /usr/bin
#ll who
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 82364 Sep 4 2003 who
#
Consider adjusting security access to "who" via SAM and/or command
line.

Have a problem with the command "who am I" or "who-m" not returning
any
data when logged in as a user, works when logged in as root. This is a
new box running "HP-UX HP3600 B.11.31 U ia64 (tXb)".
Does anyone have any ideas on what can cause this problem or how to
solve it.
