Re: [users@httpd] Get UID/GID from a username string

So Rainer, I just quickly wrote my module, it works, many thanks for your help.

Below is my code, I just have 2 questions regarding it :
1 - do I need to "free(pw)" ?
2 - is "key = apr_palloc(r->pool, 7)" the right method ? Doing this I want to 
avoid buffer overflow in case of uid/gid greater in length than the key 
parameter.

Thank you very much,

Cheers,

Ben
