How would I access a users unix id from sql*plus and then use it in my
sql*plus environment?



I know I can use the HOST command to access the unix variable LOGNAME:



  SQL*Plus> HOST LOGNAME


  myuser



  SQL*PLus>



... but I'm not sure how to give that information back to sql*plus...



any ideas?
