+ * SUSv3 specifies the string used is that returned from getlogin().
+ * The previous implementation used getpwuid() for geteuid(), which
+ * is _not_ the same. Erik apparently made this change almost 3 years
+ * ago to avoid failing when no utmp was available. However, the
+ * correct course of action wrt SUSv3 for a failing getlogin() is
+ * a dianostic message and an error return.
