I have a code fragment:
struct group *grp = getgrnam(group.data());
if (grp == NULL)
{
int E=errno;
cerr << "error=" << E << ": " << strerror(E) << " " <<
ENOMEM<< endl;;
cerr << "group " << group << " is unknown on this system." <<
endl;
err=max(1,err);
}
else
{
gid = grp->gr_gid;
}
which produces this result:
[summer@possum daemon]$ ./daemon group=users pgm=/usr/sbin/sendmail
user=summer;
gid=4294967295, uid=4294967295
error=11: Resource temporarily unavailable 12
group users is unknown on this system.
[summer@possum daemon]$
The group exists:
[summer@possum daemon]$ ypmatch users group
users::100:tiddlypuss,db2as,summer,jcs
[summer@possum daemon]$
and
[summer@possum daemon]$ grep users /etc/group
users:x:100:
pppusers:x:230:
popusers:x:231:
slipusers:x:232:
[summer@possum daemon]$
The error is not one documented for this function. Does anyone know what's
going on here?
