[ale] problems with getpwent()

[ChrisF at computone.com (Chris Fowler)]

Help,


I'm trying to create a small based distribution that will run over the network onto a development workstation.?? My base is rdhat 7.0 and I'm having problems 

with the passwd program.?? I do have an /etc/passwd and everytime I try to runn passwd, I get Can't locate username: No such file or directory.?? SO I wrote the small piece of code below to test it and I error out with "No such file or directory".?? If I look in /etc there is a passwd file.

I'm not using shadow nor do I wan to and I'm not use PAM.?? I have compile login-utils to not use pam nor shadow.?? Is there anything eles the getpwent()

needs? 


Thanks,
Chris
