Hi, OK. I've (kinda) had enough. Is there a reason that struct group in <group.h> does not define 'gr_gid' as a gid_t value, but as a plain int? This makes all kinds of things go berserk with gcc -Wall -W, and causes dozens of (totally unneeded) casts. Is there some standard that says pw_gid is gid_t, but gr_gid is int? If not, would anyone be interested in patches (yes, I'm prepared to sweep the whole source tree), making gr_gid a gid_t? G'luck, Peter -- This sentence no verb.
