Can the logon script know username?

On the logon script in my samba based network i have the following
lines of code

    net config /yes | gawk "/^Nome utente/ { print $3 }" | get ze > NULL
    set userid=%get%
    echo userid:    %userid%

The windows '95 "net config /yes" command gives you some information
about your network; for example (i am using the italian version of
Windows '95):

    C:\> NET CONFIG
    Nome computer                  \\EUCLIDE    # computer name
    Nome utente                    VALERIO      # user name
    Gruppo di lavoro               SANSALVO     # workgroup
    Directory princ. workstation   C:\WINDOWS   # workstation main dir

    Versione del software          4.00.950     # software version
    Versione del redirector        4.00         # redirector version

I parse the output of this command using gawk and put the username in
an environment variable using the very old but useful get utility.

(I haven't URL address for this utilities at hand, but you can search
for them on the web).
