Hello!

(FreeBSD-10/stable).

According to sysconf(3), _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX is the valid argument to =
sysconf():

 _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX
             Suggested initial value for the size of the password entry
             buffer.

But the following test program fails:

#include <unistd.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
  int buf_sz;

  errno=3D0;
  buf_sz =3D sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX);
  printf("%d\n", buf_sz);
  warn("sysconf: ");
  return 0;
}

% ./a.out=20
-1
a.out: sysconf: : Invalid argument


What is wrong?

Thanks!=
