The phone program has some anomaly.
When user A su'ed on the login by B, phone to C, then the message to C
says that A rings C. But when C tries to ring A by 'phone A',
'User not logged in' message appears. It is since phone uses
getpwuid(getuid()) for the local user name. It is to be corrected as follows
to avoid such anomaly.
