Current implementation in 1.3.6rc2 looks like this:
static void ensure_open_passwd(pool *p) {
/* Make sure pass/group is open. */
pr_auth_setpwent(p);
pr_auth_setgrent(p);
/* On some unices the following is necessary to ensure the files
* are open (BSDI 3.1)
*/
pr_auth_getpwent(p);
pr_auth_getgrent(p);
/* Per Debian bug report:
* https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=717235
* we might want to do another set{pw,gr}ent(), to play better with
* some NSS modules.
*/
pr_auth_setpwent(p);
pr_auth_setgrent(p);
}
I guess I can simply replace the ensure_open_passwd() function in
1.3.5 by than one, right? Please confirm, patch will be in next
upload then.
