On Universe you can use SYSTEM(19) instead of @LOGNAME.  It might exist on 
Unidata too.

I don't know if @LOGNAME gets it from the Unix environment LOGNAME variable.  
If so, there may be a Unix script that is changing the environment variable.   
You can try:

Subject: [U2] @LOGNAME on Unidata

We recently migrated from Unidata 7.1.8 on Solaris to Unidata 7.2.5 on RedHat.

We make use of @LOGNAME quite a bit to determine a person's username.  Since 
our migration, however, we've documented some cases where @LOGNAME is not 
returning the proper username - it returns someone else's.    What's bizarre is 
that most of the time it's right, but occasionally it's not.

Has anyone seen or heard of this?

When we had a report of this (with documentation) I thought it was weird.  
Today we just got a call about a different problem which I'm 99% sure is tied 
to this since it makes use of @LOGNAME.  Like the above, sometimes it's 
correct, sometime it's wrong.
