Comment 3 Wormo (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-16 06:27:58 UTC
I find it strange that logname opened /var/tmp/utmp as writable, instead of read-only... what version of coreutils do you have installed? When I run logname from coreutils-8.7, it opens /var/tmp/utmp in read-only mode:

open("/var/run/utmp", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
Comment 4 P Nienaber 2011-02-16 08:39:42 UTC
I'm at 8.9.  For reference (in case there have been modifications to the ebuild without a -r#):

     Wed Jan  5 14:35:03 2011 >>> sys-apps/coreutils-8.9  (I most likely did a sync very shortly before that)

Should I give 8.10 a try, as that's the newest I have unmasked?
Comment 5 P Nienaber 2011-02-16 08:57:58 UTC
Reproducible with coreutils 8.10
Comment 6 Rafał Mużyło 2011-02-16 18:17:04 UTC
Any chance your old glibc matters ?
It doesn't seem logname had any updates lately.

On unrelated note: it doesn't print anyting useful for me
- it seems that for whatever reason getlogin() just fails.
Comment 7 P Nienaber 2011-02-16 21:09:11 UTC
Well, then... I figured I'd do some testing along the way.  glibc insists I first build coreutils -static (I've built it very recently so it's definitely linked against my currently-installed glibc), because apparently static coreutils somehow doesn't get along with newer versions of glibc, DESPITE THE FACT THAT IT SHOULDN'T BE LINKING AGAINST THEM.  I decided it was a good idea to test building perl after this alone, and... tada, it works!  So, this is a coreutils bug:  when built with +static, logname is broken.
Comment 8 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-02-17 21:17:40 UTC
Please update the entire system first.
Comment 9 P Nienaber 2011-02-21 22:58:14 UTC
CNR with rebuild against new glibc.  Guess it was perhaps a problem with my crusty old glibc, but odd that it never happened when linked dynamically against same.  Oh well!
