SYNOPSIS
       char *logname( )

DESCRIPTION

CAVEATS
       The return values point to static data whose content is overwritten
       by each call.

       This method of determining a login name is subject to forgery.

       This routine will cease to exist in the future.  Use cuserid, or a
       combination of getlogin and getpwuid instead.
