Detailed Description

Class for managing username and logins.

This knows the current user name and can also login (suid) under unix.

I'm not sure that the login is terribly useful at the moment - you don't need to use it.

Login. Under Win32 this does nothing except set itsCurrentUserName. Under unix it tries to do a setuid with password checking via getpwnam and crypt. You don't need to use this under unix - you can use SetCurrentUserName if you're already logged. Parameters: theUserName   thePassword   Returns: true for success

Find out who is the current user. Works out the current user via geteuid and getpwuid.
