    hello,

I've made some tests with execve() and system()
and now some questions stay open here. I think
you can help me.
I wrote a more friendly interface to useradd.
The problem is, I call 'useradd user' with execve()
and then getpwname(user). At this point getpwname
returns me NULL. Trying with system() it works.
Any idea?
