Hi All,
I'm runnning Cygwin 1.5.23 on XP and my C program refers to pwd.h library.
It seems like the /etc/passwd file struct is not compliant with the C struct
password ( as defined in pwd.h ).
Indeed, users are defined as :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
bdemarch121406:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:97662:10545:bdemarch121406,U-
EUR\bdemarch121406,S-1-5-21-2052699199-3915784498-1582209984-
87662:/home/bdemarch121406:/bin/bash
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
and struct passwd :
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
struct passwd {
char *pw_name; /* user name */
char *pw_passwd; /* encrypted password */
uid_t pw_uid; /* user uid */
gid_t pw_gid; /* user gid */
char *pw_comment; /* comment */
char *pw_gecos; /* Honeywell login info */
char *pw_dir; /* home directory */
char *pw_shell; /* default shell */
};
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
May be I'm wrong, but the number of items doesn't correspond to each other.
May be I'm worng but I think that the gcc compiler is not able to parse each
items.
I thank you for all details and explanations.
Ignore the pw_comment field. It is not used.
