IDIOTS!!!!!
Anybody who has programmed on Mac OS X for any length of time (like two
days) knows that the SystemConfiguration framework gives the ability to do
exactly what Mr. Farmer desires. In case anybody is interested, the
information is posted at:

Fools, all of you.
Good day,

Firstly, your assumption that everyone who doesn't know this basic fact of
Mac programming is an idiot is laughable.
Secondly, even though you seem to be absolutely correct, so were most of
the other posters in the thread. There isn't much reason to _want_ to know
the current logged in user, so why should we have looked up this in the
SystemConfiguration framework? There are certainly a very small number of
valid uses for this information, but they're just that -- very few.
A networking driver should not care who is the "console user", especially
not with the arrival of fast user switching. Imagine what would happen if
some user is using the network device with one setting, and then switches
to another user. Should the download that goes on in the background be
interrupted just because the networking device needs to switch mode?
