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 :)
