How to display authenticated username on linux?

[Xn Nooby <xn...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to diplay the currently authenticated username
on a linux machine.  I am setting up a bunch of linux boxes, and they all
initially use the same user name.  When a programmer gets a linux box, I
will have them do a "svn ls" command with the "--username" option to make
sure their username is cached.  In order for them to check who's name is
cached, I would like them to enter a command that will display who's
username is the default subversion username.  Currently the only way to
check is to display the svn.simple file like this:

     cat /home/username/.subversion/auth/svn.simple

Is there a more elegant way?  Something line "svn whoami" ?

thx!

So you're deploying Linux boxes with the working copy already checked
out?  Why?  What if the developer wants it in a different location
(like a subdirectory off their home directory)?
