Hi, I don't know if seding message to correct list. But after upgrade from FBSD 2.2.2 to FBSD 2.2.6-stable something moved. In my /etc/passwd file there are lots of coments "#" and getpwent() return 0 after read this line. I have some scripts in perl that stops when getpwent() return 0. In FBSD 2.2.2 when getpwent() returned 0 meant end of file /etc/passwd. Same problem occurs in finger, ex: my /etc/passwd: xten:*:67:67:X-10 daemon:... pop:*:68:6:Post Office Owner:... nobody:*:65534:65534:Unprivileged user:... ftp:*:14:5:Anonymous FTP Admin:... majordom:*:69:69:Majordomo Pseudo User:... quota:*:500:5:Quotas:... paulo:*:501:5:Paulo Fragoso:... #waterloo:(password):... andre:*:1006:1001:... mirage{paulo}:/etc:25$ finger ftp Login: ftp Name: Anonymous FTP Admin ... mirage{paulo}:/etc:26$ finger paulo Login: paulo Name: Paulo Fragoso ... but after "#waterloo" : mirage{paulo}:/etc:27$ finger andre finger: andre: no such user I think so getpwent() must return 0 in true EOF /etc/passswd. Are there any solution in this case? I don't want to remove my coments in /etc/passwd. Sorry for my english mistakes :-) Many Thanks, Paulo.
