First, anyone remember my problem with "sh :pwd: cannot open .." ? I'm not sure my followup ever got out; so thanks to all who responded, and the problem turned out to be a broken directory where a local utility lived. Now, my next question: Is there any way to "get" an i-node into a C program, the way getpwent gets passwd entries ? Do I really have to open the device file and look for the i-list ? W.rat
