https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=192138 Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |mjg@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #1 from Mateusz Guzik <mjg@FreeBSD.org> --- Not only that, pw is racy in general w.r.t other operations. An acceptable way around this would be to have a lock (say, /etc/.pw.lock) which is taken at the beginning and released at the end. Preferably also supported by other tools playing with passwd (and other files). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
