Redhat System admin Wiered user created
I created a user names apmadmin. The group name is apm admin and it is working on 10 other servers
Here is the /etc/passwd record
[collector8]root [ ~ ]# grep st2 /etc/passwd
[collector8]root [ ~ ]# grep apmadmin /etc/passwd
apmadmin:x:3520:2001::/hom
Now here is the group record
[collector8]root [ ~ ]# grep apmadmin /etc/group
apmadmin:x:2001:
[collector8]root [ ~ ]#
Each time I login to the apmadmin user .. You can see the prompt saying st2vodi.. I don't know this user and it does not exist in etc/passwd
[collector8]st2vodi [ /data ]$ cd /opt/CA/APM/
[collector8]st2vodi [ /opt/CA/APM ]$ ls -lai
files seem to be owned by this st2vodi...
[collector8]st2vodi [ /data ]$ ls -lai
total 5716

I don't know how to solve this puzzle. What is this st2vodi and why it replaces apmadmin the intended user.... Can you please help rectify the situation?

I have not got an actual solution for what the issue it. However, the issue is resolved by removing the user and re adding it ...
ASKER
[collector8]st2vodi [ ~ ]$ grep odi /etc/passwd
[collector8]st2vodi [ ~ ]$
It returns nothing.
Another point... the setup was done a long ago.. I was today working on it and observed this issue. I looked in the whole passwd file and I can see no resemblance to this user
