Feature. Quote from my preliminary documentation (attached): Please note that getpwent/getgrent do *not* test if an account was already listed from another source, so an account can easily show up twice or three times. Such a test would be rather tricky, nor does the Linux implementation perform such test. For the full description of the new, very configurable "db_enum" setting in /etc/nsswitch.conf, see the chapter called "The /etc/nsswitch.conf file" Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Maintainer cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
