The following reply was made to PR bin/173005; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Mark Johnston <markjdb@gmail.com> To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org, jb.1234abcd@gmail.com Cc: Subject: Re: bin/173005: PW(8) - 'pw usermod' causes Segmentation fault: 11 (core dumped) Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2012 00:15:55 -0400 The error messages aren't different by design though - the different behaviour for -g "" is a side-effect of the change I mentioned in the first email. There is no practical distinction between those two errors anyway - they come from two essentially identical checks at different points in the code. In fact, the "... is not defined" check is redundant and can be removed/simplified if my patch is applied. Specifically, that check only fails with -g "" in the unpatched pw(8). -Mark
