Strange. What could be the problem then? The code looks something like this:
#define USER_NAME_FROM_ENV(s) do { \
(s) = getenv("LOGNAME"); \
if (!(s)) \
(s) = getenv("USER"); \
} while (0)
...
USER_NAME_FROM_ENV(self->user);
...
if (!options->user)
{
argp_error(state, "No user name given. Use the -l option, or set LOGNAME
in the environment.");
break;
}
