>Description:
rmuser is not case sensitive. It will confirm the user you wish to
delete, but then it deletes more than one user.
>How-To-Repeat:
adduser JOHN, adduser john, them rmuser john, both users
are removed.
>Fix:
Linh Pham <lplist@closedsrc.org> reported this in response to my
post in -questions (200103192332.f2JNWXb68437@ns1.unixathome.org):
In the rmuser script, there is a Search/Replace call that has /io, which
searches in non-case sensitive mode.
Below is a clip of what I have under 4.2-STABLE:
while (<MASTER_PW>) {
if (not /^\Q$login_name:/io) {
print NEW_PW;
} else {
print STDERR "Dropped entry for $login_name\n" if \
$debug;
$skipped = 1;
}
}
Removing the i would probably resolve the non-case sensitive issue of
rmuser.
