https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D211406 Bug ID: 211406 Summary: su -l clears LOGNAME environment variable Product: Base System Version: 10.3-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: d.y.kazarov@mail.ru Created attachment 173036 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=3D173036&action= =3Dedit Patch for su.c and su.1 POSIX 1003.1 states: "LOGNAME The system shall initialize this variable at the time of login to be the user's login name. See <pwd.h>. For a value of LOGNAME to be portable across implementations of POSIX.1-2008, the value should be composed of characters from the portable filename character set." (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/xbd_chap08.html) "su -l" Simulate a full login. But LOGNAME is unset after "su -l". samba port depends on this variable during some operations (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D175544) but samba's dev= eloper refuses to do anything about it (see https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D9592). IMHO "su -l" shall set this variable since it's part of POSIX standard. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
