You can get OS username (in SQL*Plus - I don't have Developer 6i to test it, but you might try) using
select sys_context('userenv', 'os_user') from dual

Password? Shouldn't that be confidential? Even if not, I'm sorry, I don't know how to get it.

The reason i needed the username and password was because i needed to send emails from my applications. I had a procedure in which i needed to put the windows username and password for authentication... with the new procedure i have the application doesnt need windows authentication.... i found the new procedure in one of the forums here... thank you all...
