How to print the drupal username -without a link to it- inside the node profile?

Question

So far the only thing that works is $name wich prints the username with the link.

I´ve tried $account->name, and it won´t print anything at all (I´ve tried $author and $account_name; too, without any luck).

I want to print the username inside their profile usernode in a Drupal 6 installation, but don´t want to print it with the link to it, just the username.

Thanks for your help!

I do not have the exact answer you are looking for. However I'd use get_defined_vars() in all template files to list the defined variables.

In case you are not a programmer, here's the code.

<pre>
<?php
  print_r(get_defined_vars());
?>
</pre>
