Error Message "USER: Undefined variable

mike_teoh — Fri, 01 Jun 2001 05:10:57 GMT

I am presently login in the workstation using the created account eg "arene" and check using comnad "echo $USER" , it showed "arene".My workstation is running .cshrc file and under platform hp ux ver 10.20.

But when telnet my server, and login using the same account. It prompts me "USER: Undefined variable".
I don't know what goes wrong? Upon execute "echo $USER" in the server, it shows the same error message.
Execute command use "whoami", it shows "arene".
My server side run under hp ux ver 11.0.

Can anyone kind to help up ?
Thank in advance

USER is not a standard var. You'll have to find where it is set and see how it is set.
