Since few updates I see every times something like this: (17/19) Looking for Pacnew/Pacsave created. sudo: unknown user michaldy sudo: plugin initiation error of audit sudoers_audit error: command was not performed correctly This doesn’t seem to create any problems, but my user is “michaldybczak”,…

[image] Teo: So, did you at the end of this loooong discussion discover a bug in the Pacnew Checker using the last command with long usernames? Yes, as I stated. [image] Teo: If so, let’s @Ste74 know about it It is already done, in the appropriate thread you even replied to after I re…

I guess it wasn’t clear enough the multiple times I copy/pasted it: [image] omano: Output of last command?

[image] omano: I’ll do some tests, to understand why it logs a “michaldy” user here in the last command, when the michaldy user doesn’t seem to exist from what we can see in the output of /etc/passwd file. Thanks. I just assumed that last is just a word and since it was used also within a lo…

[image] omano: [image] soundofthunder: Semantics. He obviously understands now. blabla, welcome to my ignore list now. Enough of you. Don’t reply to me. I’ll not see it anymore. Have fun with that.

[image] omano: The last command doesn’t log the username entirely, That is a nasty trap - is that documented somewhere?

So, did you at the end of this loooong discussion discover a bug in the Pacnew Checker using the last command with long usernames? If so, let’s @Ste74 know about it. Sorry if i misunderstood something, that is what i get as an essence of the thread if i skip all the personal ranting.

[image] michaldybczak: Is it possible that the scrip is doing unexpected action dynamically truncating my user name, and this it doesn’t exist anywhere, but is error of that script? Yes. Improper quoting and/or variable substitution, or a badly implemented cut in the processing of the variab…
