In case your system uses /etc/passwd, this will get you both values separated by a colon: grep username /etc/passwd|cut -f3,4 -d: HTH Kurt Bremser AMOS Austria Newton was wrong. There is no gravity.

Let's assume an incoming request contains a username, is there a way to get the system UID of this username string (Linux/FreeBSD) ? And from a UID string, to get the corresponding GID ?
