Is this on my system > somewhere or is it supposed to be with the BSDI stuff? It's not supposed to exist, and the 4.4BSD password shadowing is intended to be transparent to user programs. Thus, you compile your program as if no shadowing were present, but must make sure that it finally runs with an (effective) UID of 0. This will automagically allow reading the actual passwords. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-business.de http://www.interface-business.de/~j
