Hello,

Some time ago, there was some discussion about how to extract/change user information from the /etc/passwd,/etc/groups and /etc/shadow files on linux.

I've translated the necessary header files from the C library, and I ported a utility unit which I wrote for a Kylix book so it works with FPC. It makes the use of the C interface a little easier.

I'm thinking about adding it to the FPC packages, but in the meantime interested people can contact me by private email to get a zipped copy.

Michael.
