Not exactly : your expertise helps us to see more clear here.

No idea, but probably because this value is not used, yes. 

BTW, I have found something interesting here :  
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-bugs/
2006/06/07/0009.html

64 is proposed in this case.  And if bufsize does have the same sense as 
buflen, 1024 for buffer length 
seems to be a big value, no ?

I think so too. Another link I found, directly defines buf_len  = 
sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) equal 
to 1024 if returned buf_len is < 0

See :  http://bugzilla.mcs.anl.gov/globus/show_bug.cgi?id=3902

To be honest, things are not so clear (hopefully, this is fixed in Mac OS X10.4)


Waiting, I'll try your code and verify it works on Panther.

Thank you very much for your time !
