peter 96/11/15 09:36:25 Modified: usr.bin/chpass edit.c Log: pw_scan() was being used to convert a string into a struct passwd, with an auto stack variable that was about to disappear. It broke with some nis passwd changes because of a gethostbyname() call that uses a fair bit of stack.. This was a timebomb waiting to go off at any time and could have been causing subtle corruption for a while. AARGH!! This is HIGHLY reccomended for 2.2 and presumably 2.1.6 Revision Changes Path 1.9 +1 -1 src/usr.bin/chpass/edit.c
