Thanks. The Shadow file is what i need (I do have access to it) however I can't seem to find it on CPAN. Know where I can get it?

    Odd. I got it of cpan.. guess was a while ago

    I know it was abstracted heavily from Unix::ConfigFile That may have smothing for you..

    Looks like the Unix::PasswdFile might handle the shadow as well..
    also CfgTie::TieShadow looks like it could make it easier.

    as well the author is of Unix::ShadowFile is: Steve Snodgrass, ssnodgra-AT-fore.com
    you can try him. if all else fails email me and i will send you the .pm i got
