Sure! Mono::Unix::Native::Passwd<http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T:Mono.Unix.Native.Passwd>and Mono::Unix::Native::Group<http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=T:Mono.Unix.Native.Group>that are returned from the Mono::Unix::Native::Syscall<http://www.go-mono.com/docs/index.aspx?link=M:Mono.Posix.Syscall.getusername(System.Int32>functions have UInt32, System.String, and System.String[]. System.String is no biggie, and I'm finding .to_i on a System.UInt32 is still displayed as System.UInt32, so I suppose that's not an issue, either. MRI displays Fixnum as the type, and I was trying to get the correct types back from the functions. That leaves MRI's Array to Mono's System.String[].
My current implementation is just a Ruby module wrapping calls to the Mono functions and returning the appropriate types. Most of it is working, though without being able to run tests easily, I'm testing from the command line. I still need to add conditionals to return nil if it's run on Windows. I suppose I also need to conditionally load the Mono.Posix.dll if it's on Windows, too. I'm about to finish the basic implementation and post to github<http://github.com/panesofglass/ironruby/blob/linux/Merlin/External.LCA_RESTRICTED/Languages/IronRuby/Etc/IronRuby.Libraries.Etc/etc.rb>. (I've already got what I finished last night up there.) I also asked Shri for a pairing session to make sure it's inline with what you're wanting.
