This is a bit of a guess as I haven't messed with users myself, but you might be able to try sometihng like:
{let current_user=fetch('user','current_user') }
<input value="{$current_user.name}" />
{/let}
If that doesn't work, you can view all of the attributes of <i>$current_user</i> by including the code <i>{$current_user|attribute(show)}</i> within your opening and closing <i>let</i> tags, which should help you track down the value you need. Alex

ok that gets me a bit closer by using {$current_user.contentobject.name} in a standard form. but when i try to replace the attribute_edit_gui line in the following code with the ==new code== listed below my text edit box display the name but when i post the data is not sent.
==existing code==
{let author_attribute=$content_attributes_data_map.author}
<div id="subject">
<label>Subject</label><div class="labelbreak"></div>
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_id[]" value="{$author_attribute.id}" />
{attribute_edit_gui attribute_base=$attribute_base attribute=$author_attribute}
==existing code==
==new code==
{let current_user=fetch('user','current_user') }
{attribute_edit_gui attribute_base=$attribute_base attribute=$current_user.contentobject.name}
{/let}
==new code==

When you view the HTML source output by eZ, what does your hidden input tag contain?
<input type="hidden" name="ContentObjectAttribute_id[]" value="{$author_attribute.id}" />

thanks for your help alex. I have had a few days off of this and given it a bit of thoughts.
1./ my users will be logged in
2./ I have setup permissions to the comment class to aloow create and edit and self
3./ When the user posts they should become the owner of the object
4./ i hoped that {$node.subtree|attribute(show,2)} would spit out the creator.name but it does not :( i just get a smaller subset of information for the subtree objects. please see below:
i think the line
>creator object[ezcontentobject] Object
is of interest and my suspision lead me to think that the creator/owner is the ezcontentobject
Attribute Type Value
0 object[ezcontentobjecttreenode] Object
>node_id string 108
>parent_node_id string 47
>main_node_id string 108
>contentobject_id string 175
>contentobject_version string 2
>contentobject_is_published string 1
>depth string 3
>sort_field string 9
>sort_order string 1
>priority string 0
>path_string string '/1/2/47/108/'
>path_identification_string string 'news/test'
>name string 'test'
>data_map array Array(7)
>object object[ezcontentobject] Object
>subtree array Array(1)
>children array Array(1)
>children_count string 1
>contentobject_version_object object[ezcontentobjectversion] Object
>sort_array array Array(1)
>creator object[ezcontentobject] Object
>path array Array(2)
>path_array array Array(4)
>parent object[ezcontentobjecttreenode] Object
>url string 'news/test'

Paul, try using <i>attribute(show)</i> instead of <i>attribute(show,2)</i>. This should ensure you see every attribute of the object. I believe the owner/creator will be included in the expanded information. Alex

Alex Got it...
I used a couter couter=0 in the let statement and this to pull it out.
{$node.subtree.$:counter.creator.name}
{set counter=$:counter|inc} thanks for your help. If nothing else i learnt a lot working this out, especially though the debug output.

if you specified only logined users can add comments, then I think a better way to achieve this is as follows: remove the username and email attributes from commment class, and only leave the title and body attributes. Then as every object created will link to its creator, so you can find out later which user is the owner of a particular comment, and all the information you stored in the content object of this user.

thanks

Paul, I am glad you got it up and running. Using <i>attribute(show)</i> and working through each of the levels taught me a lot to say the least! Alex
