The user that history records can come from a number of different
places:  If you're using an authenticated client/server method like
pserver, it's the username the client sent to the server.  Otherwise, it
comes from getuid() and getpwuid() in the CVS (server) process unless
that's 0.  If it is 0, CVS uses the first of getlogin(), $LOGNAME, and
$USER that's set.
