	I'm constantly amazed at the number of my contacts that
know they have a USENET address, but don't know what it is! They
never use it, then they forget it - most of them are managers,
instead of programmers, so it's not a daily essential for them, I
guess. I know there's a way to get a site to identify itself
automatically, but is there a way to get a site to tell you the
net addresses of its users? "Managing UUCP and USENET" mentions
the command "who", but only in passing - I'm not sure about its
usage syntax, or if this is what it'll do.
	I'm sure this is a touchy question security-wise, but I've
also read that it's a function that the sysop can lock out if
necessary. 
	Note that I'm running UUPC 1.06 from an XT clone, so there's
a lot of UNIX functions that I don't have.
	Advthanks!!
