* Gets the real username, behind the "sudo root" where applicable

* Should 'LOAD.ENV.COMMON' be run for every process in STD.SETUP ? Some things like
* USER and PWD are pretty useful; but their is surely some extra overhead ? How much ?

  $include RMS.BP ENV.COMMON

  Err = ''  ;*  No error is set for now ? But pro-active callers might check it...

  call LOAD.ENV.COMMON("")  ;*  Loads if not loaded already.

return (EC$REALUSER)
