Help!
I'm in the process of developing an app. using gtk1.2 that requires the
user to login, and thus needs to read /etc/shadow to get username and
password info.
Problem is, I've tried doing it with something like
fp=fopen("/etc/shadow");
if(fp==NULL)
fatal_error("cannot open file");
fclose(fp);
showmessage("login processing done");
<fatal_error> and <showmessage> are my own functions that work ok - i
have tested them, so they're not at issue here.
Problem is that the code never gets to either the showmessage() or
fatalerror() calls. I need to do line-by-line text processing with fp,
so a stream-based approach that lets me use fgets() is better.
Is there a workaround? Has anyone run into similar problems? I have
very similar code working fine in an ncurses-based version, but this is
really bugging me.
TIA,
John Breen
