- Every now and again, I see an entry like the following in
- /usr/adm/sulog.

- Does anyone know what might cause the null username field entry? On a
- couple of occasions, this has actually appeared as "SU: (null)" (as if
- a printf statement were passed a char pointer to NULL for the userid).
- I find this a little worrying, especially as I'm one of the only
- people on the system who su's in wee hours of the morning and last
- night I was en route to Boston.
