Hi, reading in getpwuid man page (IEEE Std 1003.1-2008).... "The return value may point to a static area which is overwritten by a subsequent call to getpwent(), getpwnam(), or getpwuid()." I think that any real implementation of this function will use a static area, or otherwise will use a dynamically allocated one but managed by the library itself. So i belive no free is necessary (and anyways i can't put a free knowing that the returned pointer may be to a static area).
