Hello Mark,
Good to know. I was trying to populate the "Name:" field of a fake
administrative password query dialog. I've since gone a different
route and used an "official" Apple dialog (or "dialogue" for some)
that takes care of this for me. However, I suspect I may yet have need
of this again sometime.

on 10.4.11 as well.
Best,

Hello Gordy,
Thanks for that. I was (am!) ignorant of dscl
I'll continue looking for something (additional) that might work in
earlier versions.

Scott in 10.5 that information is stored in Directory Services.
The dscl command is used to interact with that. For example:
$ dscl . -read /Users/gordy RealName
RealName:
Gordon Tillman
(that's me!)

I'm trying to get the user's name under OSX. I can get the
environment variable
$USER
but this only returns the user's short name. Any ideas for
getting the full name?
