Call me crazy, but I just made some objects so that you can get the info from /etc/passwd and /etc/group, and convert between UIDs/GIDs and usernames/groupnames. Its part of my effort to provide as many low level primitives within Pd as possible. Or really, its make a libc interface for Pd.
Hans, why are you crazy about low level primitives? ;-) Why not promoting the use of the shell or the python externals to interact with the system? I'm not against your idea (maybe I don't understand it), but is it worth it? I'd rather use common Unix scripting commands than depend on more pd externals (and more help patches). -- Marc
