This seems wrong to me, since getpwent_r isn't a syscall

POSIX concept anyway. Ugh. Bad namespace. No biscuit.
Why is the Syscall namespace there

So I wrote some code to allow Mono.Posix.Syscall to call getpwent_r(3).
See attached patches.
My problem
You need to use gacutil to install the new Mono.Posix. Either set your
prefix in mcs/ and do a make install in the mcs/class/Mono.Posix or do
gacutil -i Mono.Posix.dll

Sounds good. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

Can you also set the MONO_PATH environment variable to the location of
the new assembly? (It's both a suggestion and a question. :) ) This is
what I usually do when I'm working on Monodoc so I don't have to touch
my rpm-installed version.
I don't have a full understanding of how MONO_PATH
Yes you can. MONO_PATH comes first in the assembly loading chain, but
should really only be used during development.

Loren,
I'm always happy to see Mono.Posix get new functionality. It's a fun
little assembly... Anyway, I have a few comments (merely from the point
of view of a fellow Mono.Posix.Syscall hacker):
Most of the functions in Syscall are named after the equivalent library
function. I'd suggest

Also, your function is accidentally private.
Yeah I noticed the private thing, that was a cut

Ahha, I was reporting what was in the man page in Fedora Core 2 assuming
it was the same everywhere. Since it's not the same everywhere,
nevermind. :)
