Hi all, I detected an issue with getpwent on my FreeBSD test box:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent();' $VAR1 = [ 'root', '', 0, 0, 0, '', 'Charlie &', '/root', '/bin/csh', 0 ]; $VAR1 = [ 'toor', '*', 0, 0, 0, '', 'Bourne-again Superuser', '/root', '', 0 ]; $VAR1 = [ 'daemon', '*', 1, 1, 0, '', 'Owner of many system processes', '/root', '/usr/sbin/nologin', 0 ]; I'm using FreeBSD waldorf.muppets.liwing.de 7.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.3-PRERELEASE #0: Fri Mar 12 11:31:18 UTC 2010 r...@waldorf.muppets.liwing.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/WALDORF amd64 The correct output should be (taken from a NetBSD system): perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent();' $VAR1 = [ 'root', '*', 0, 0, 0, '', 'Charlie &', '/root', '/bin/ksh', 0 ]; $VAR1 = [ 'root', '*', 0, 0, 0, '', 'Charlie &', '/root', '/bin/ksh', 0 ]; $VAR1 = [ 'root', '*', 0, 0, 0, '', 'Charlie &', '/root', '/bin/ksh', 0 ]; Taking a look to http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/D/DBD-Sys.html#DBD-Sys-0.01, this issue is not limited to FreeBSD 7.3 - it occures on FreeBSD 7.2 and 8.0, too. I tried several perl versions on my box (perl5.8 from ports, perl5.10.1 from pkgsrc and the release candidate of perl5.12.0) - with the same result. Maybe someone could take a look? If I can provide additional information, please let me know.
