In beta 18 we add: Under NT only, chown(), getgrgid(), getgrnam(), endgrent(), getgrent(), setpwend(), getpwent(), endpwent(). Win95 still has these as stubs. You will need to make an /etc/passwd and /etc/group for some calls to work. That said, we provide a mkpasswd and mkgroup that create valid /etc files from the NT user database. It also looks like getpwuid will work in beta 18 so you may be in luck. I expect b18 will be out this coming week, perhaps on Tues/Wed? -- Geoffrey Noer noer AT cygnus DOT com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
