error: 'strncpy_s' was not declared in this scope . compiling on ubuntu (linux). what is it?

AFAIK, it's Microsoft specific. strncpy is standard.

If I use strncpy, then found other errors. Works only with strncpy_s
part of code:
std::strncpy_s(username, 40, text + 1, accend - 1);
...
and:
char days[10];

if (text[1] == ' ')
strncpy_s(days, 10, text, 1);
else if (text[2] == ' ')
strncpy_s(days, 10, text, 2);
else if (text[3] == ' ')
strncpy_s(days, 10, text, 3);
else
...

Replace those calls with strncpy() and provide the correct parameters. See here:

Second, this is the Visual C++ forum -- issues with another compiler should be directed to the Non-Visual C++ forum.

Last, an operating system is not a compiler -- mentioning "Ubuntu" and Linux" doesn't tell us what compiler and version of the compiler you're using. More than likely it is gcc / g++.
