Hi Thanks for the syntax. It works perfectly now. Good advice about the brutal technique too.
I'm actually trying to debug a bash script which runs getent passwd <user>. On Ubuntu it seems that getent is run in a different process as it returns nothing. The same script on openSUSE returns as expected. I know it's OT but any ideas how to get output from getent in an Ubuntu bash script? Cheers, Steve
This really shouldn't matter, does getent on Ubuntu works fine without bash script?
