This is the code that actually gets the names of everyone logged onto the machine.
It's some basic Unix stuff; we do a "popen", which executes a command-line utility,
and get back a pointer to a File. We can then read from this file and get the
results of the command. I'm being lazy here about potentially really long names, but
I don't think it's going to be a problem.
It stuffs the data we get back from the command into a Storage object, which we then pass
back to the caller. The caller can munge about with it at will, and not have to worry
about reading data from streams. Sort it, do what you like with it.
