There's no use assigning the output of strtoul() to a 32-bit variable
then checking that against ULONG_MAX. Instead use a "unsigned long"
as the temporary variable. Also, only check against UID_MAX/GID_MAX;
these are both going to be smaller than ULONG_MAX on both 32- and 64-bit
platforms.
infrastructure and using that infrastructure in programs.
* MKHESIOD, MKKERBEROS, MKSKEY, and MKYP control building
of the infratsructure (libraries, support programs, etc.)
* USE_HESIOD, USE_KERBEROS, USE_SKEY, and USE_YP control
building of support for using the corresponding API
in various libraries/programs that can use it.
As discussed on tech-toolchain.
Remove local ypgetpw{uid,nam} which don't support secure maps.
(Using chpass/chfn with secure maps and these local functions turns off
users by putting * in password entry.)
If the user deletes a field while editing (as an easy way of making
that field empty) then "save" for that field will not get initialized
before referencing it when constructing the new GECOS field.
If a user wishes to change a password on a system running YP, and
the master server is not running rpc.yppasswdd, chpass(1) would fail,
even if the user had a local entry. Fix this by checking for local
entry if master is not running rpc.yppasswd iff we defaulted to using
YP (not invoked with "-y").
XXX Unlike the similar change to passwd(1), this one duplicates some
XXX code (makes an attempt to contact rpc.yppasswdd early). This is
XXX a side-effect of the structure of this program. chpass(1) could
XXX use a re-write.
YP server. This is required if the passwd database is to stay in sync
if this program is run on the YP server. Note, local passwd database
operations can still be performed by passing the -l flag.
