the only line I have in /etc/passwd is :
fernandez::500:544::/home/fernandez:/bin/bash

unknown::544:

Hi,
Because there is a lack of a security model in win9x (95,98,Me) the user
logged in is effectively the su (superuser). If im understanding you

usr?
Take a look at the manual, this will give you more info on this
