SYNTAX
logname
DESCRIPTION
Logname returns the contents of the environment variable
$LOGNAME, the name under which you logged in. It is set when you
log into the system, but can be reset. It is simply an
environment variable; it does not affect the system's knowledge
of you through your effective user id.

will still function.
$ logname > lognm
$ cat lognm
billcat
Puts the user name in the new file lognm and displays the
contents of lognm.
