Please use $HOME then fall back to getpwnam_r(). I have a user with the same uid/gid, but a different name and $HOME (mainly to put games into a special root without a separate login), but getpwnam_r() gets my main user's $HOME because it's earlier in the passwd file. --Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sponsored by Intel(R) XDK Develop, test and display web and hybrid apps with a single code base.
