Anybody know if there is a generic set of methods that supports all
(or most) unix style OS's? I looked in 'baseunix', but there the
group and name methods relate to a process id's, not to file
attributes...
Baseunix and Unix should be implementable without libc for maximal
portability. But,

Hi,
For now I wrapped the libc calls with $IFDEF LINUX and for other unix
variants I simply return the Group ID and User ID (instead of the more
friend names).
A quick work-around for me would be to read the /etc/groups and

Yes, but they they do not necessarily contain any useful information.
The actually used information may be on an ldap server, in a netinfo

As far as I understand the 'libc' unit is a compatibility unit from
the Kylix days and is only meant for linux/x86, so isn't portable.
