Sorry, not enough info.  It only displays the username, not the full name in 
the directory listing.  I was just thinking that someone probably didn't like 
it displaying the full name to shorten the length of the row or something.  
But I would prefer that it show the full name.  Don't know how everyone else 
feels about it.

My problem here is that I don't have a cvsusers file that actually has a 
header in it.  So I'm not sure of the format.  I'm assuming that we could just 
check for a comment character (#) at the beginning of the line, but I'm not 
positive.
