....
	while((fgets(temp,120,fp))!=NULL) {
		sscanf(temp,"%s:%s:%*s:%*s:%*s:%*s:%*s",sent[x].name,
			sent[x].passwd);
		++x;
	}
....

	this was meant to read a unix password file (/etc/passwd) and
	extract the username and encrypted password field...

	can someone tell me why this is not working as planned?... it worked
	on a shitty compiler... i recently installed djgpp...

	should i be doing to a better way?... is it portable?...

Ron!
