|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
These functions are designed as conveniences for interactive programs
|
|
which update the passwd file and do nothing else. They generally
|
|
handle errors by printing out a message to the standard error stream
|
|
and possibly aborting the process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_init
|
|
function prepares for a passwd update by unlimiting all resource
|
|
constraints, disabling core dumps (thus preventing dumping the
|
|
contents of the passwd database into a world-readable file), and
|
|
disabling most signals.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_edit
|
|
function runs an editor (named by the environment variable EDITOR, or
|
|
.Pa /usr/bin/vi
|
|
if EDITOR is not set) on the file
|
|
.Fa filename
|
|
(or
|
|
.Pa /etc/ptmp
|
|
if
|
|
.Fa filename
|
|
is NULL). If
|
|
.Fa notsetuid
|
|
is nonzero,
|
|
.Fn pw_edit
|
|
will set the effective user and group ID to the real user and group ID
|
|
before running the editor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_prompt
|
|
function asks the user whether he or she wants to re-edit the password
|
|
file; if the answer is no,
|
|
.Fn pw_prompt
|
|
deletes the lock file and exits the process.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_copy
|
|
function reads a passwd file from
|
|
.Fa ffd
|
|
and writes it to
|
|
.Fa tfd ,
|
|
updating the entry corresponding to pw-\*[Gt]pw_name with the information
|
|
in
|
|
.Fa pw .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa old_pw
|
|
is not NULL, it checks to make sure the old entry is the same as
|
|
the one described in
|
|
.Fa old_pw
|
|
or the process is aborted. If an entry is not found to match
|
|
.Fa pw ,
|
|
a new entry is appended to the passwd file only if the real user
|
|
ID is 0.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_scan
|
|
function accepts in
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
a passwd entry as it would be represented in
|
|
.Pa /etc/master.passwd
|
|
and fills in
|
|
.Fa pw
|
|
with corresponding values; string fields in
|
|
.Fa pw
|
|
will be pointers into
|
|
.Fa bp .
|
|
Some characters in
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
will be overwritten with 0s in order to terminate the strings pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa pw .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is non-null, it should be cleared and the following options
|
|
enabled if required:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width _PASSWORD_OLDFMT
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWORD_NOWARN
|
|
Don't print warnings.
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWORD_OLDFMT
|
|
Parse
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
as an old format entry as found in
|
|
.Pa /etc/passwd .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Upon return it is cleared, and filled in with the following flags:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset indent -width _PASSWORD_NOGID
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWORD_NOUID
|
|
The uid field of
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
is empty.
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWORD_NOGID
|
|
The gid field of
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
is empty.
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWD_NOCHG
|
|
The change field of
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
is empty.
|
|
.It Dv _PASSWD_NOEXP
|
|
The expire field of
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
is empty.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_error
|
|
function displays an error message, aborts the current passwd update,
|
|
and exits the current process. If
|
|
.Fa err
|
|
is non-zero, a warning message beginning with
|
|
.Fa name
|
|
is printed for the current value of
|
|
.Va errno .
|
|
The process exits with status
|
|
.Fa eval .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn pw_scan
|
|
function prints a warning message and returns 0 if the string in the
|
|
.Fa bp
|
|
argument is not a valid passwd string. Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn pw_scan
|
|
returns 1.
