 I've noticed the same with both startx on console and remote MacX (xterm 
started via rexec). uid is me, but login is root. For example ftp thinks 
I'm root. Running ssh -v shows me:

ssh_connect: getuid 666 geteuid 0 anon 0

 My zsh shows LOGNAME correctly though.

 This is NetBSD/mac68k-current with an oldish userland, so this isn't 
sun3-specific.
