We have a peculiar situation on one HP-UX site. We have a function
which tests for user name, but the user name it sees is not the same
as the login name. PGUSER is not set. The function works as expected
on other systems.

I've spent some time with the source code trying to determine exactly
how the user name is determined, but since I'm not familiar with it,
that could take weeks <g>.

One thing that's different about this system is that it's using LDAP.

Does anyone have a clue for us?

"Function": is this a PostgreSQL function in PL/pgSQL? In C?

"User name": is this a database user or an operating system user?
If the latter: the user of the client process or the user of the server
process?

Is the function very long? If not, you could post it.
Without the code it's difficult to help you.
