    We are facing problem while switching as root user on the server. We are able to solve the problem, by running by mkpasswd -c (i.e by rebuilding the indexes), for time being but the problem re-occurs everyday.

    This is the message we are getting while loging in as root:

    local/users/username
    username@server $ su -
    root's Password:
    3004-502 Cannot get "LOGNAME" variable.

    Any solution???????

    Sounds like something is not set correctly in /.profile. The .profile in the / directory.

    #cd /
    #grep LOGNAME ./.profile

    May just need a LOGNAME=Something.
