I did some debugging and found, that get_pass() in utils/passwd_util.c
gets executed. There, the "else" branch gets run, ie. "p = getpass( prompt);"
is run. This is just a #define for getsmbpass() which resides in
lib/getsmbpass.c. And in getsmbpass(), the execution differs for root
and non-root users.
When I'm root, the *ELSE* branch of the "if (in == NULL)" (the first if
in that function) is run. This means, that
in = fopen ("/dev/tty", "w+");
did NOT return NULL.
Next, the test "if (tcgetattr (fileno (in), &t) == 0) {" yields FALSE for
root - for non-root, this test is TRUE.
Why does this happen? Does this mean, that root, for some reason, cannot
open /dev/tty for writing?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba# ls -al /dev/tty*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 25 Aug 17 21:54 /dev/tty
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4, 64 Aug 17 22:00 /dev/ttyS0
I'm logged in to this system over a SSH session. The SSH server is
Dropbear sshd v0.46.
I don't understand this.
Can somebody make sense of this?
Thanks,
