tags 220426 unreproducible moreinfo retitle [TO CLOSE 20050413] groupadd hangs (loops and eats memory) thanks
I have tried to reproduce this bug. First, let's create a lot of users (with Debian's adduser, this doesn't really matter): for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do adduser --no-create-home --disabled-password --gecos test$i$j test00000000$i$j ; done ; done I have voluntarily used a quite long login name to be sure to get a very long line in /etc/group. The let's cycle and slowly make one group line in /etc/group grow up, like Fredrik did in the bug report, just to see when groupadd fails: for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ; do for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 9 ; do adduser test$i$j herge ; groupadd test ; groupdel test ; done ; done Unfortunately, I'm afraid that this went to its end....with no hang. So, as far as I can tell, this bug is unreproducible on my system. Fredrik, can you try to reproduce it again the way you did in the bug report? If it can't be reproduced, then I'm afraid we will put it in the "transitory bug" category.....and therefore close it. -- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
