My change doesn't allow it only for the last, but it does restrict it to the login name. I notice that pw.h exports the code. If somone is using the function from outside, that's probably something that needs to be considered. I've changed the prototype, so that it will at least complain on compilation, if someone is using the code that way. I think the "$" on the end worked because of the "dangling $" handling in the shell they they happened to be using; the original example namess are still broken for some shells, with no back-quoting. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
