Most users aren't on a node, so what this 'user' object in the above context?
You can get the current node (of the user for which the current JS context is
executing) with the bbs.node_num property. If you want to see if a current user
is online, you can look thorugh the system.node_list array and see if the
useron property matches the user number you're interested in (see
exec/nodelist.js for an example).
