at my site it would pretty much be impossible to read /etc/passwd as i run my httpd in a chroot, which does not have a copy of /etc/password in it. i am not a developer of RC, just a satisfied user like you, but i might suggest you look at other ways besides /etc/password. there are some fields in the `user' and `identities' that look like they might be able to hold the data you are after. just a thought. i'm sure the more experienced RC guys around here will be able to provide more help. --john _______________________________________________ List info: http://lists.roundcube.net/users/
