[gentoo-user] Who sets the USER environment variable?

Hi all, I wonder if querying the USER env variable is a reliable way to get the login name of the user who started an application, on all authentication methods - passwd, NIS or LDAP based authentication. So who sets this variable? is it PAM? is it some login script? Best Regards, Dorin
