Does openpkg's rc script depend on /usr/ucb/whoami ? Is there a better way to
check simply that a user has effective id root? I'd like to avoid having to add
/usr/ucb to root's PATH if possible, and more importantly avoid probs with 'su'
vs. 'su -', etc.
In this case I'm logged in as 'guest' then did an 'su -' to root, which has a
minimal environment.
