You didn't explain where you don't see those users and groups. > I think it read "/etc/passwd" and "/etc/group" directly instead of using > "getpwent" and "getgrent" functions calls. Why ? It's a bug or a feature ? If > it's a feature, how it can work with NIS ? No, as you can see in the code, mc uses getpwent and getgrent. Some data is cached and then used in the file listings. Try using File -> "Advanced chown" from the menu and see if the usernames are shown there. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ Mc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/mc
