As described in an ancient cygnus mailing list message, http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2000/msg00042.html "getpwnam/getpwuid functions report NULL instead of a fallback entry *if /etc/passwd exist* and the user name or uid is not found in the file" (my emphasis) Once I generated a password file, using mkpasswd.exe > /etc/passwd test_pwd.py seems to succeed as expected. Strangely, the Cygnus install seems to have automatically generated the passwd file into /etc/group at install time, rather than into /etc/passwd. In any case, this test failure is due to incorrect cygwin32 setup, not Python. Jeff PS Tim, sorry about reporting those two known test failures yesterday. I hope this message is more helpful. In any case, when can I expect to receive my punishment from the PS -- \/ http://www.slashdot.org/ Jeff Epler jepler@inetnebr.com "One Architecture, One OS" also translates as "One Egg, One Basket".
