I was trying to tell you that the user may be should be memeber of the group you are using to run sockd, but nevermind, I missunderstood the doc. about getpwuid() i tought you needed to be a memeber of the group id in order to get the passwd struct, but it seems it does not matter, i made a small test and it seems that it returns the struct doesnt matter who call the function , but the password is still encrypted. If you find the solution please let us know :)
