In beta 18 we add:
Under NT only, chown(), getgrgid(), getgrnam(), endgrent(), getgrent(),
setpwend(), getpwent(), endpwent(). Win95 still has these as stubs.
You will need to make an /etc/passwd and /etc/group for some
calls to work. That said, we provide a mkpasswd and mkgroup that
create valid /etc files from the NT user database.
It also looks like getpwuid will work in beta 18 so you may be in luck.
I expect b18 will be out this coming week, perhaps on Tues/Wed?
