HP-UX

Running HP 11.31 on a HP3600. But when I log in as a user the who command works but if I use an option like "who -m" I get nothing. Any thoughts on what is causing this problem.

Perhaps there is an alias defined somewhere. What happens if you use:

Code:

\who -m

Perhaps there is another who in your search path, check with:

Code:

which who

Logged in as root get

# which who
/usr/bin/who
# who
awrpt pts/ta Nov 17 11:05
awrpt pts/tb Nov 17 11:05
root pts/tc Nov 27 22:04
# who -mR
root pts/tc Nov 27 22:04 (1IMAGE)
#


Logged in as user get

$ which who
/usr/bin/who
$ who
awrpt pts/ta Nov 17 11:05
awrpt pts/tb Nov 17 11:05
dw pts/tc Nov 27 22:02
$ who -mR
$

OK and what about

Code:

\who -mR

What does that do?

Logged in as root

# \who -mR
root pts/tc Nov 27 22:04 (1IMAGE)

Logged in as user
$ \who
awrpt pts/ta Nov 17 11:05
awrpt pts/tb Nov 17 11:05
dw pts/tc Nov 28 01:13
$ \who -m
$ \who -mR

Are /etc/utmp* world readable?

If so perhaps

Code:

/sbin/init.d/utmpd stop; /sbin/init.d/utmpd start

Logged in as a user and now have the -R option work need to get the -m option or the who am i to work as a user

$ who
awrpt pts/ta Nov 17 11:05
awrpt pts/tb Nov 17 11:05
dw pts/tc Nov 28 12:19
$ who -m
$ who -R
awrpt pts/ta Nov 17 11:05 (192.168.20.57)
awrpt pts/tb Nov 17 11:05 (192.168.20.57)
dw pts/tc Nov 28 12:19 (1IMAGE)
$ who -mR
$ who am i
$
