Not to tramps on our illustrious developer, but this is a bad idea... you
should instead use:

    <dtml-var AUTHENTICATED_USER.name>

or

    <dtml-var "AUTHENTICATED_USER.getUserName()">

The reasons for this are multitudinous, but largely derived from behaviour
of more advanced user mechanisms, like LDAP.
