   Ok I have it sorted:
   
   https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getpwnam.3p.html
   
   
          Note that sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) may return -1 if there is
          no hard limit on the size of the buffer needed to store all the
          groups returned. This example shows how an application can
          allocate a buffer of sufficient size to work with getpwnam_r().
          
    Both examples are wrong. You need to detect error and grow the buffer. Yikes
         
           while ((e = getpwnam_r("someuser", &result, buffer, len, &resultp))
                      == ERANGE)
