I'm in the same area. The problem is getrpcport() (that's buried inside get_yp_master()). getrpcport calls gethostname(), and I think it's gethostname that's clobbering memory somehow. This is something I stumbled onto a long time ago. I thought I had worked around it, but apparently I was wrong. I never did figure out why gethostname() was zonking my pw structs, so I avoided calling gethostname() until after I had copied it. The weird thing is: I just linked a static version of chpass for testing and _that_ executable works. This is damn strange. I'm starting to wonder if maybe there's a deeper problem somewhere. -Bill
