The userfoo tools are normally found in the 'shadow-utils' package on RPM-based linux systems. I'm not sure if the userfoo commands belong in cygutils -- or in a package of their own, as Igor suggests. I'll go with whatever the community decides -- but right now, it's a moot point. I haven't seen any code. If anyone is interested in sending me a patch to incorporate the userfoo tools into cygutils, see /usr/src/doc/cygutils-1.1.3/HOW-TO-CONTRIBUTE --Chuck -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
