| 1 | Hi all, |
| 2 | |
| 3 | I wonder if querying the USER env variable is a reliable way to get the login |
| 4 | name of the user who started an application, on all authentication methods - |
| 5 | passwd, NIS or LDAP based authentication. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | So who sets this variable? is it PAM? is it some login script? |
| 8 | |
