Thank you! My google fu is starting to show its age, as I did a bit of
searching looking for a library function to parse passwd, knowing one had
to be there, but came up empty. This is exactly what I was looking for.
Yes, Yordan, I think using this would be the better option as if I had
found it, it would have been what I would have suggested in the first
place.
