Yeah, that's what I did when I wrote a users clone last year:

    #define MAXNAMES 1000
    static char users[MAXNAMES][UT_NAMESIZE+1];
    (void) strncpy( users[nusers], u.ut_name, UT_NAMESIZE );
    users[nusers][UT_NAMESIZE] = '\0';

And yes, this will fail if more than 1000 users are logged in at
the same time.  Imagine how concerned I am.
