Hi Don,

I discovered my problem was due to a highly customized prompt with csh shell.

Code:

 
 set prompt="`uname -n | cut -f1 -d"." `\\!`whoami`($GROUP,$NCID,$VIEW)@../$cwd:t[\!] "

Anyway, I answer your questions.

What do you mean by "someone configured "myuser" as default user after init"?

I am using two machines with Solaris. The other machine asks the user for credentials. But this machine does not.
And when it starts, it goes directly to myuser�s home directory. So I think "myuser" is the default user for this Solaris session.

Quote:

What did "someone" do to make this configuration change?

I don�t know who did it, if "someone" still works at this company (probably not), and which configuration file was edited.

Quote:

How did you log into the system?

As I said - without credentials.

What output do you get from the command line:

Code:

who am I;ps

[CODE]
myuser pts/3 Jun 13 21:24 (unix: 0.0)
PID TTY TIME CMD
1324 pts/3 0:00 ps
845 pts/3 0:00 csh
