getpwnam_r returns EINVAL on FreeBSD 8.3
After upgrading a server from FreeBSD 7.3 to FreeBSD 8.3 I noticed
this bug. Since upgrading, getpwnam_r is acting inconsistently. If I
look up a user that does not exist and the name is 16 characters or
less, getpwnam_r returns 0 and the result is NULL. If the name is
more than 16 characters, getpwnam_r returns EINVAL. Everything works
correctly for users that exist.
This only happens when the nsswitch.conf passwd: line contains files.
You need to use files if you are using another module such as msql or
ldap. The problem exists without the other modules listed. For
example:
passwd: files
Below is a simple test program. Set passwd: to files in nsswitch.conf
and run the program. Any idea how to fix this bug with getpwnam_r?
#include stdio.h
#include sys/types.h
#include pwd.h
main()
{
lookup(doesnotexist);
lookup(doesnotexisty);
}
int lookup( char *name)
{
struct passwd pwd;
char buffer[1024];
struct passwd *result;
int err;
printf(\nLooking up: %s\n, name);
err = getpwnam_r(name, pwd, buffer, sizeof(buffer), result);
if( err != 0 ){
printf(Return code: %d\n, err);
}else if( result == 0 ){
printf(Returned no result!\n);
}else{
printf(Returned: %s (%d)\n, result-pw_name, result-pw_uid);
}
}

On Mon, 3 Dec 2012 22:41:06 +, BOY RULES wrote: hello there i am new with this software never used it yet but would like to try it You will appreciate this step. i want to ask if this software supports MAC and Windows applications to installation I doubt there will be enough compatibility with Mac OS X software (I assume this is what you mean by MAC), but Windows software is supported surprisingly well. There are different means to do it, for example using the software wine, or one of the virtualisation solutions such as VirtualBox or VMWare. Depending on the complexity of the software you wish to install, one solution might be better than the other. Attention: Licensing restrictions may apply! i would like to ask after if this software freebsd supports FMS and ASP net applications I have no idea about that, sorry. if not i would like to give me ideas if possible to build a new application to run flash media server and a great webserver similar as MAC Admin tools Flash suffers from degrading support on the _client_ side, so I doubt it's worth investing into this dying technology. Because media server can mean a lot, let me answer in a broad way: There are lots of server tools for FreeBSD: web and streaming servers, plus web based administration tools for them. i want to run a server from home running open source software and easy to manage it like in 3 clicks and done the site is up and running While the default configuration of most software pacakges provides you with everything you should need to run, edge cases might force you to install additional stuff. Furthermore, from a security point of view, 3 clicks and done doesn't sound to carry the required trust and knowledge. Basically, it's about _your_ security and the security of your customers / clients / users. Those running FreeBSD based servers know this very well and spend some time _learning_ to build and administrate a server properly. if possible the developers to build a new freebsd and use skins like the plasma TV that type of black colour skins and all the freebsd be like that You can add skins and styles to whatever you like. FreeBSD is free in this regards, as is the software that you install on it. For example, desktop environments can be themed, and many preprogrammed web content providing systems can also be styled in any manner you wish. and build one application like IIS 7 or mac admin tools Honestly, nobody with a working brain wants IIS. :-) For FreeBSD there are various servers (web servers, mail servers and media streaming servers) that can be combined if required. They are usually fast and secure, easy to configure, to update, and they come with source code -- the opposite of IIS. for easy up and run sites If you don't want to deal with technical details, knowledge and neccessary basics (such as terminology, protocols etc.), why not use a free hosting provider and rely on _their_ solution? another application is one listview to add all the websites hostes on the server like add folder name to the disk disk www folder chat folder hosting folder business folder family listview details IP addressServerHost Domain Name date / time directory 123.023.02 localhost www.freebsd20.12.02 12h 23m www/videos This remotely looks like what you can achieve with Apache's configuration file (httpd.conf), but would also apply if you'd choose to employ jails to maintain web servers on a per-jail basis. I'm almost sure there is a web-based administration tool for the typical Apache + PHP + MySQL combination that offers such kind of interface. i hope you understand It's possible, thanks. :-) -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Maybe portmaster is populating both correctly, but poudriere is only doing one of the two. No -- the data is stored in the pkg structure in memory in exactly the same way irrespective of the program used to access it. The problem would occur as a fault in converting the value as it is read into or out of that structure. The poudriere devs tell me that poudriere doesn't do anything different when creating packages -- it just uses 'make package' in the usual way from the ports. So I now doubt that is the problem. The fact that 'pkg info' gets it wrong, but 'pkg query' gets it right implies the problem is localised to 'pkg info'. That I'm not seeing it on my dev system, which is running pretty much the latest from the git repo, suggests that the problem may already have been fixed, although I can't see a relevant commit message. I'm using a straightforward 'pkg create' to build my package files, by the way. But why should there be two (apparently discrete) measures? It's clear that there is a flaw somewhere, but it's not where I first thought. I need to recheck things more thoroughly on my work machine which I believe was showing the same symptoms.
