The latest version in the repository (734) has a bug in xuserset when used as:
xuserset add -a -u where it goes into an infinite loop repeating this: xp_user_add: n0000: Error 5: root:user exists xp_user_add: n0001: Error 5: root:user exists xp_user_add: n0000: Error 5: root:user exists xp_user_add: n0001: Error 5: root:user exists This had happened before, and was fixed then... This is from the Nov 3 thread: arrgh, it works fine on my home machine too.. but i think i have caught the bug. so getpwent() should loop over the passwd database (contents of /etc/passwd) but in xp_user_add, there's again a call to getpwnam() which could possibly reset the passwd database and getpwent() again returns "root" entry in the next iteration. this is not triggered for all libc versions and the one included in RHEL5.2 seems to break it open badly. I run most of my tests on Ubuntu/Fedora which I have started to believe is a bad choice to test this stuff. Daniel
