Sorry, I don't have an acount, so I write this to webmaster. The function getuid() returns always the scriptowner. This is bad, if you start the script under a different username (i.e. root). There is a way to display the caller of the script instead of the owner. You can parse $GLOBALS['_ENV']['HOME'] i.e.: basename( $GLOBALS['_ENV']['HOME']) which will return the current user instead the owner (so far the home_dir ends with the username). Have a nice Weekend... Martin
