Question about authentication methods

Greetings all

So we're currently looking to move from CVS to Mercurial.  One item I've
come up with is a discrepancy between username and authentication styles.

In the [ui] section of the ini config, I can specify my username, e.g.
myname <myemail at some.com>.  Now, this seems to be different than when I push
my local to the remote repository; I need to specify credentials to push
back to my remove (assuming it has authentication required).  In theory, I
can make my username appear to be someone else.

Is there any way to enforce the username to be the credentials of the user
who can push? Or somehow force the username value to be the OS value logged
in as user? Or even anything along these lines?

Thanks

John
