Windows Login Name in TSQL

I've looked but I can't find.
Is there a way to get the windows login name in TSQL?
Also I would like the workstation name (computer name).

The software we use doesn't use a separate login name for each user, so
everyone is actually logging in using the same database login, but I need
some way to get to their computer name and login name.

Thanks,
Alan Sawyer

I am using SS2k.

If the authentication being used is "windows authentication", then you can
get it with suser_sname(). If the authentication being used is "sql server"
then you can not see the nt user.

For the "computer name" see host_name in BOL.

See SUSER_SNAME function in SQL Server Books Online. Also the HOST_NAME
function.

Since there is only one user setup in the database, it would have to be
using sql server authentication, wouldn't it??
The individual users are not being setup in the database.
Does this mean there is no way to get it?

Depend. If the user is bound to a login that is a ntgroup, then you can. You
can see the login using sp_helpuser and inquire master.dbo.syslogins to see
if the login is an ntgroup or ntuser.

Doesn't look like that will work
I have 30 users in the software, but a
select * from master.dbo.syslogins only shows 12 records returned.
