Shouldn't we check for uid == 0? The common name for that uid is "root", but I don't think anything prevents you from changing that name to say... administrator, or god. But that check is easier to do with a C program than shell... And besides, as I read in another thread about Mingw, shouldn't we test for a functionality (being able to write somewhere, to use a certain program) rather than rely on the username and implied permissions of it? But maybe I'm just way off track here... Cheers, Vincent
