Wondering if this is a security issue?

On LWM 8.1.2 64-bit

(sys:call-system-showing-output “logname”)
=>
; logname
; root
0

;; —————————
;; Similarly, if you fire up the Shell in LW environment:

projects/Lispworks % logname
logname
root

;; ———————————————

So, my question relates to “root” being returned, even though I am logged in under my own personal account.
