[Cvsnt] Getting username

Tue Feb 12 03:34:38 GMT 2002

Gary,
    I am currently using :

$login = getlogin() || "unknown" ;

since getpwuid is not implemented for windows and $ENV{'USERNAME'} is empty
when te script is called from a pserver connection. What surprised me was
that even though CVSNT is set to "impersonate" the user it has
authenticated, it seems to still be the SYSTEM user.
