the GECOS data i cat'ed abive was actually created by OOBE when i set this device up for the first time. any reason why we can not use this (since it is also pretty much standard in all our other installs to use this data) but require the user to re-run OOBE to potentially use some non-standard place to store this data ? i think there should at least be a fallback to GECOS instead of just showing the hardcoded username.
