I don't know anything about Novell, but MS Windows doesn't have a
concept of users. Everyone is "root" (so to speak). Win9[58] have
"users" in the sense of having a different Desktop and Start Menu, but
that is all they do. If you are using NT it is a different story. NT
actually does have different users with varying permissions. I don't
know how to extract the username, but it does exist to be extracted.
