  It probably has to do with how you are starting your expect session. Maybe your USER environment variable isn’t set. How are you running expect? Are you launching it from a terminal window? How are you opening your terminal window? If you’re using “xterm”, make sure to pass the “login shell” (-ls) argument when you run it. Other terminals might have a slightly different option. If you are using “su” to get to hci from another user, make sure that you use “su -“.

  This might be a ksh problem. You can see this post for more information:

  If you can use bash, it might work better. Bash has a -login option.
