Subject: linuxconf produces line splits in /etc/group - msg#00006List: debian.qa-packagesVersion: 1.17r5-2 we have a problem in conjunction with the following (?) packages: login 19990827-20 libpam-modules 0.72-9 libpam-runtime 0.72-9 libpam0g 0.72-9 linuxconf 1.17r5-2 we use: Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with 2.2.18-raid-mosix (custom kernel with raid and mosix patches for kernel 2.2.18). problem: we have a unix group on the system where the line defining the group in /etc/group is around 180 characters long. manipulating the group definition with linuxconf the line is split with \ after approximately 90 characters . this has the effect that users who are listed after the split will not be in this group after login. nevertheless they can become a member of the `missing' group with the newgrp command. if I eliminate the split by hand, such that the definition is a single line, everything is fine again. It seems that the program(s) doing the login/authentication (from the login/pam packages?) has (have) a problem with the parsing of splitted lines in the group file, but newgrp (login package) does not seem to have it? A fix depends on whichever of login/pam/linuxconf one may judge to be the `culprit', but maybe fixing linuxconf to write `proper' lines to /etc/group is the easier fix ... gc --------------------------------------- Received: (at 93202-done) by bugs.debian.org; 5 Dec 2002 02:51:34 +0000 Thread at a glance:
