Snap problem

So, it looks like the id command is screwed up.. it should produce this
output.

/home/root> id
uid=0(root) gid=0(system)
groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit),11(lp)

/home/root> id -ru
0

Can you run some debug info, 1st check your ML levels etc..

lppchk -v
oslevel -r
instfix -i | grep ML
lslpp -h bos.rte.security
type id

Then run file and what on the path to id given from the above command
to see if anyone has corrupted, or hacked your id command i.e.

file /usr/bin/id
what /usr/bin/id

Or to cut out the middle man, you could just update bos.rte.security to
the latest level, or you could run truss against the id command to see
what its doing.

Both id and id -ru commands produce the following output:

uid=0(root) gid=0(system) groups=2(bin),3(sys),7(security),8(cron),10(audit),11(lp)

userid=`id -ru`
if [ "$userid" != 0 ]
then
echo "Must be root user [0] to use this utility."
exit 2
fi

What does id -ru produce on your system for the root user ?

Hi to all,
When I execute snap -a /snap -r command, I have get the following error:
# snap -a
Must be root user [0] to use this utility.
# snap -r
Must be root user [0] to use this utility.
But exactly, i'm root (am i really??!?)
# whoami
root

What can be the problem which produce such a silly output?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks
