HPUX and privsep

 Subject:	HPUX and privsep
 
Anyone solved or see the same connection I do with
these two issues on HPUX if Privilege Separation is
turned off ?
		Logname not found (3.7.1p2, 3.8.1p1)
		Login prematurely quits during session setup
(mm_send_fd: sendmsg(3): Bad file number |
mm_receive_fd: recvmsg: expected received 1 got 0)
(3.8.1p1)
 
Seems the mm_xxxx_() functions arent called when
PrivSep is off. The utmpx line field isnt filled in
correctly (loginrec.c:line_abbrevname() - easy to
fix) but doenst seem to affect these problems.
 
This was found on HP's site with no solution :

Something mentioned was a change in logname to use
getsid() instead of getlogin().  
 
Doesn't solve the 3.8.1 problem of no login.
