There was a program posted a while back (as in server years ago) call 'id'
that does an excellent job of exactly what you want.  It was written by
Greg McGary.  At the bottom of a README file I found the following:

-- Greg McGary
-- P.O. Box 286
-- Lincoln, MA  01773
--
-- 9/15/87
--
--     Until the end of 1987,
--     Consulting to Sun's East Coast Division:
--             gmcgary at ecd.sun.com
--             gmcgary at suneast.uu.net
--
--     After that, probably consulting in Europe...


so I am not sure what the current status of this program is.  This program
does have a copyright notice on it, so I don't just want to posted it
unless someone can convince me that I want get into any trouble :-).

Type at you later,
