Sure.  The problem is that there's no such info available for
the services running under system account, AFAICS.  The cached
credentials are not accessible in a programatic way, except for
logon applications.  So you have this information as soon as
you logon locally or you logon via ssh w/ password since that's
running a LogonUser() call which is nearly the same as logging in
locally.

Really, I have no idea how to do that.  As I said, the old way
worked by returning *wrong* information.  It's not a choice to
go back to that implementation.
