The WHOIS utility will tell who a user is by reading the OWNER field
of the SYSUAF record for a given owner.  For example, the following
would occur on my screen if I wanted information about a given user:

               $ WHOIS RUCKER
                User RUCKER is Mpls-Roger-Ruckert

We have found this especially useful for our expanding worldwide network
and usernames that are only 6 characters long (and often cryptic at that).
To allow all users read access to the SYSUAF, install the image shared
with SYSPRV and define the executable image as a foreign command:

           $ WHOIS == "$ MED$COMMON:WHOIS.EXE"

Any enhancements or suggestions are appreciated.
