Or $EUID and $UID in Bash.

I've tried passing these in to the command called from inittab but i've
think this is too late along to get the values i want. When the
Ctrl-alt-delete is kicked off it is handled by inittab which runs as root
and so when it passed the parameters to my command they are already set to
root or '/' which is the user init runs under. I was hoping to be able to
retrive them from $UID but its handeled by a process that really is root
(Doh! Should have realised that) so that fails.
