"who am i" and "logname" commands not working with sudosh

[Anthony_141]

We installed sudosh a few weeks ago and recently noticed that now "logname" and "who am i" no longer function.

The "clearenvironment" paramater in sudosh is normally set to "yes" so we tried "no" and this didn't help.

Just curious if anyone else has run into this.

What error do you get when you try the commands?

[Anthony_141]

"who am i" returns nothing

"logname" returns:
logname could not get login name

Note that "whoami" works but not "who am i".

Shalom,

sudo should have no impact on these commands to root user.

Do you have setup involving these two commands for non-root users?

To help, I'd need to see snippets from your sudoers file.

We don't have sudo installed -we're just using sudosh as a login shell.

Perhaps sudosh doesn't change the real and effective users to the new user?
whoami(1) returns the effective user.

logname(1) and who(1) probably get their info from getlogin(3) which seems to
look at utmpd. Perhaps utmpd doesn't have the info?
(And logname(1) does error checking.)
