Synopsis: [PATCH] pw doesn't accept characters like $ although it should according to passwd(5) State-Changed-From-To: open->closed State-Changed-By: gad State-Changed-When: Mon Jan 27 17:23:25 PST 2003 State-Changed-Why: I commited a change to pw_user.c in current which will allow the '$' character as the last character in a user or group name. This will address the problem that affects samba. The patch supplied in this PR would have been a bad idea, as the list of valid characters for a userid or group name is definitely different than the list of valid characters allowed in a gecos field. Perhaps the man page should be more explicit about those restrictions, but in any case samba users should be OK now. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=46890 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
