I suspect a corrupted wtmpx file. What says:
Code:
ls -lL /etc/wtmpx
last -10

Answer for post #6

Code:
$ id -un
id: illegal option -- u
Usage: id [-ap] [user]
$
$ which id
/usr/bin/id
$

But the output is different when I used this id path:-

Code:
$  /usr/xpg4/bin/id -un
$ wisdom
$  /usr/xpg4/bin/id -ur wisdom
1114
$

Now, when I su to root and run the same command, I get the following :-

Code:
 root@host # /usr/xpg4/bin/id -un
root
root@host #

I suspect that also. Answer for post #15 :-

Code:
$ ls -lL /etc/wtmpx
-rw-r--r--   1 root     other    267327384 Mar 28 10:55 /etc/wtmpx

$

Here's a section of my username from last :-

Code:
root@host # last |grep wisdom
wisdom    pts/1        <my IP address>   Mon Mar 28 10:43   still logged in

Hi this will help you.
ch dir where you want execute the script.
then find user.
ex:
cd /usr/ucb/
user=`who am i`
curr_user=`echo $user|awk -F" " '{print $1}'`
