This message is a bit misleading. It really means: `getpwnam("backup") was unsuccessful'. Perhaps getpwnam() searched /etc/passwd, but perhaps it tried to use NIS or some SCOish mechanism. So there might be other things to look at beyond /etc/passwd and its symlink target. -- | | /\ |-_|/ > Eric Siegerman, Toronto, Ont.
