How do I get the current NT/2000/XP user using JAAS?

Note: if you are using a JDK less than 1.4, make sure you have downloaded the JAAS class libraries and the sample authentication module for Windows at http://java.sun.com/products/jaas/index-10.html. Put jaas.jar and jaasmod.jar in your classpath.
