How to get the user or his rights?

[Bob Sneidar]

Going to have to shell it I am sure. I don't know the specifics, but I know there are shell commands for the Mac. I came across this in a forum by googling it:

ls -l /dev/console

I got:

crw-------  1 bobsneidar  staff    0,   0 Mar 14 09:43 /dev/console

There is also env. This will display environment variables. You want the line that starts with user=

What is odd here is that I am an admin, and this is showing that my primary group is staff, the unix equivalent of users. I will have to poke around some more.
