That is odd but below works for me. You could also use getenv() but then
you would have to trust the user enviroment.

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

void main(void)
{
	char* user;

	//user = getlogin();
	user = cuserid(NULL);

	if(user)
		fprintf(stdout,"Login: %s\n",user);
	else
		fprintf(stdout,"Who dat?\n",user);

}
