  getpwent()
  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
