Well, I do too, but I'd want to rebuild the library properly, and I've
been too scared to try. :-)  The source for my version of the fixed
getenv is in this listserv's article archive and should be somewhere in
the Nitros9 cvs.

I'll look, but that may be a typo....

True.  I don't use it so it wasn't in my installed list.

I have setnuid() for this, I'll post it later.  It's short and sweet.

(unix.l's getenv has special code for $HOME, it wants to look in
/dd/sys/password and of course it needs to be uid 0 to do that...)

There are also other libs here that I didn't install.  ddjlib looked
really interesting but IMHO not worth using, for instance.

I have customized my sys/make.default file for this (one of the reasons
I LOVE THIS MAKE) and I'll post it later.

I don't think it's for the same thing, though.  Is it?

Thank you, I can't ever find that url quickly.

You're welcome.
