Hi All, hope everyone is happy and not thinking of jumping ship to MS :-)

Just a quick one, been messing on for ages but seem to be running around in
circles.  Does anyone have any robust code examples of using
LookupAccountName() api?  I'm writting a little wrapper to, amongst other
things, write events to the Windows Event Log.  In order to display the
users' name under the event that I write, I need to pass the users SID,
which I'm assuming I can access using this api.  I've tried to impliment the
code myself and I've used one code example that I found on a website in the
Russia but no joy.  I keep getting the error "No mapping between account
names and security IDs was done" returned by LookupAccountName().

I can post my function code if necessary...  Any help would be excellant, so
thanks in advance,

Mike C
