in reply to how to find out USERNAME from a given file?

Use the fourth element in lstat/stat and use getpwuid. The username is the first element returned. Perhaps not overly OS-independent, but it gets the job done under UN*X.
AgentM Systems nor Nasca Enterprises nor Bone::Easy nor Macperl is responsible for the comments made by AgentM. Remember, you can build any logical system with NOR.
