Hi there, I have a peculiar and reproducable problem where bash(1)(and probably truss(1), too) vomits in a endpwent(3) call. It happens always when I hit <TAB> after I inserted a tilde ~ character, regardless of whether I then type a user name (it used to go into the user's homedir if so). What am I doing wrong? The system has been updated with ctm yesterday and had its world built and installed this morning and the problem seems to occur since then. For completeness' sake, here's `uname -a`: FreeBSD host.domain.de 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #17: Tue Jul 9 11:06:02 CEST 2002 root@host.domain.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/HOST i386 The box is a NIS client, but the error occurs with both local and NIS users. Currently, it's 'only' a major nuisance to me since I do use '~' a lot, but it may be more as a rather basic function is involved (and truss(1) also dies). Since it's reliable, I could also produce core dumps to interested people and whatever truss(1) manages to put out, if at all required. Any hints appreciated, thanks a lot and best regards, Peter.
