New submission from Brian Vandenberg:
On all our solaris 10 machines when I run a simple test program it never
reports a failure when calling getspnam:
#include <shadow.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int main( int, char** ) {
spwd *asdf = getspnam( "some_user" );
if( NULL == sdf ) {
perror( "getspnam" );
}
return 0;
}
If I run the above program on our linux boxes it fails as expected, but on our
solaris machines it produces the same information you'd see running "ypcat
passwd | grep some_user".
I suspect either there's a bug in the solaris implementation of getpwnam() or
perhaps there's a configuration issue on our solaris machines, though it's also
possible this is just how it behaves in Solaris (at least with NIS).
As to whether anything should change for test_spwd -- I suspect this will get
closed as "won't fix" but at least this report may help anyone else running
into this failure.
