Getting current user short name

Is there some standard way to get the current short user name?

I'm using this code, which I cribbed from a developer.apple.com page on supporting fast user switching. It works fine on my development machine, but on a machine that's only got one account, it turns out it's not the right answer. Makes sense, I guess.

CFStringRef shortUserName;
CFDictionaryRef sessionInfoDict;

sessionInfoDict = CGSessionCopyCurrentDictionary();
if (sessionInfoDict == NULL)
	NSLog(@"Unable to get session dictionary.");

shortUserName = CFDictionaryGetValue(sessionInfoDict, kCGSessionUserNameKey);

Some new ideas would be great.

thanks
