I apologize for suggesting the above non-solution. I don't know what I was thinking. Thanks to Andre for setting me straight on this. > (2) New file operation file-calling-user, returns the calling user, as > defined in (1). This now seems to be the way to go. I'm not happy with the name, though. Names that crossed my mind for this operation: file-calling-user, file-standard-user, file-user-login-name. I don't like any of them. Do people have a better suggestion? > (3) Augment the return value of file-remote-p to indicate the calling > user. The return value could be augmented to also indicate the > remote host, if the file is remote. I agree with Richard that this seems kludgy.
