- I seem to be having a problem creating accounts from within a C program
- using only C function calls. I can create the information correctly (I
- think), add it to /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow in a form which seems to
- be rational but I am unable to login to the account. This is Esix SVR4
- running on a 486 by the way. Does any one have any idea of what I could
- be doing wrong or, better, have code that does this already? Any
- help would be appreciated.
