Patch to replace USER with LOGNAME (4.67 KB, patch)

Description Willie Walker 2009-04-10 14:39:57 UTC 
I might be wrong about this, but I believe the $LOGNAME environment variable tends to be more guaranteed to be present than $USER.  As a result, on systems where $USER is not present, LDTP can fail.

Patch to replace USER with LOGNAME

I *think* this patch catches all the USER uses and replaces them with LOGNAME.
