told me that I di not have lib_nss in my lib directory.  but, it seems that 
ldd did not state that either.  Is there a way to find out all the 
libraries my program uses.  It works now.

    Help, 
    I'm trying to create a small based distribution that will 
    run over the network onto a development workstation.  My base is rdhat 
    7.0 and I'm having problems 
    with the passwd program.  I do have an /etc/passwd and 
    everytime I try to runn passwd, I get Can't locate username: No such file or 
    directory.  SO I wrote the small piece of code below to test it and I 
    error out with "No such file or directory".  If I look in /etc there is 
    a passwd file.
    I'm not using shadow nor do I wan to and I'm not use 
    PAM.  I have compile login-utils to not use pam nor shadow.  Is 
    there anything eles the getpwent()
    needs? 
    Thanks, Chris
