(My apologies if this has been discussed before) My build of Berkeley 5.61 sendmail started core dumping for no apparent reason - it had been running for a month or so with no problem. Upon investigation, it appears that getlogin() is returning "telnet" instead of the real user login name. I've seen this kind of behavior in the past with ftp and su. Is this a known problem? It seems to be intermittent, as it will return different results between login sessions.
