3004-687 User "???" does not exist.

  • 1.  3004-687 User "???" does not exist.

    Posted 12 hours ago

    Hello,

    For AIX 7300-03-00 i get below error.

    root@hostname:/root
    > su - automation
    automation@hostname[/home/automation]sudo su -
    [YOU HAVE NEW MAIL]
    3004-687 User "automati" does not exist.

    When I'm trying to "sudo su -" from user with more than 8 characters then its appear. Basically I'm able to switch to root but anyway this error looks confusing.

    Because its saying that user "automati" instead of "automation" .

    In the truss dump we found something like this :

    So we think that sudo package has some problem

    Sudo version installed is : 1.9.16p2-1 so the latest one.

    I couldn't find similar problem anywhere. Maybe somebody has something to add here that would be great :)

    Regards
