[comp.sys.hp] Problem with setenv NAME on HP-UX 7.0

shahryar@eris.berkeley.edu (Persian Nightmare) (02/02/91)

Dear all,

	A user at my site has a problem with setenv NAME 'given name'.
It seems that our mailx and ELM [both built in and 2.3 PL11] cannot
pick it up as the given MAIL name of his account.  Anyone have this
problem and if so what's the solution?

Have you tried LOGNAME ? This is the env. variable which works om my
system (though only a few of my students use mailx and elm; being at
UCI we obviously prefer mh).
