[MacTUG] Fileu (N-drive) userid mapping issue

[Dani Roloson]

 2) if you want the current logged in user dynamically,
     checking the owner of /dev/console seems to be one way

open smb://fileu.uwaterloo.ca/users\$/`/bin/ls -l /dev/console | /usr/bin/awk '{ print $3 }'`

but this also seems to work

open smb://fileu.uwaterloo.ca/users\$/$USER

You'd avoid the second one if you might possibly be running the script using ARD UNIX as root
(because something in the script needs that level of power)
since it resolves to root instead of the currently logged in user.
