making getpwnam system call work on solaris

Post by V.G.Praka » Wed, 01 Mar 1995 04:18:36



        I was trying to use  system call getpwnam() for expanding ~user
info to get the user home directory path.
        This does not seem to work on sun, solaris.  What changes should I ask
system adminstrator to do, in order to make this system call work.
        I was sucessful in  using the same on sunos machines.

Thanks for any help.

What do you mean by "does not work"?

It works for us, it's actually pretty critical for system operation.
