Looks like you sent this to the wrong list. You're looking for some *NIX
help and this is a Win32 list.
Run another system command export REMOTE_USER=<value of /usr/bin/id -nu
command>
I'm sure there are some modules to help take this off shelling out to the
system, but I'm not that knowledgeable of them.

Chris,
I guess u got my question wrong or may be I put it in a wrong manner.
I have a programm which is run by any user. I dont want the user to set
his passwd . the system command gets executed within the pgm (
/usr/bin/id -nu) and then set this somehow as $REMOTE_USER before
passing it to my cgi pgm. how can i do it...??
sorry if i have not been able to put it correctly earlier.
Rgds

You should be able to SET it from the dos prompt:
C:\home\chris.devers>set REMOTE_USER=foo
C:\home\chris.devers>set
[... lots of output streams by, including...]
REMOTE_USER=foo
[... lots more output ...]
This should then become accessible to your script's environment.
