Reason I'm asking is I'm making some minor modifications to the Makefile for
the chkuser patch and I want to make sure they're as absolutely portable as
possible before releasing it to the masses.

I would think that cut would be more portable. However, every machine
I've used has had some variant of awk installed too.
You might want to consider using 'grep ^vpopmail' or even 'grep

I'd go with awk, personally. Poking around my network a bit I'm finding

on the user vpopmail was configured with (considering there are probably far

However, I'm having trouble getting that value into a variable in a
