Great, that worked, thanks so much, Mindaugas! A couple of points: 1. I had to restart the system, a mere logout didn't change anything. 2. The surprise is that it didn't actually show my user name, it showed my real name. So security is a little better than showing my user name; in fact, it seems better because, otherwise, folks in my audience could see me type my user name! Best regards, -Tom
