Hi all,
I detected an issue with getpwent on my FreeBSD test box:
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e);
endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e =
getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent();'
$VAR1 = [
'root',
'',
0,
0,
0,
'',
'Charlie &',
'/root',
'/bin/csh',
0
];
$VAR1 = [
'toor',
'*',
0,
0,
0,
'',
'Bourne-again Superuser',
'/root',
'',
0
];
$VAR1 = [
'daemon',
'*',
1,
1,
0,
'',
'Owner of many system processes',
'/root',
'/usr/sbin/nologin',
0
];
I'm using FreeBSD waldorf.muppets.liwing.de 7.3-PRERELEASE FreeBSD
7.3-PRERELEASE #0: Fri Mar 12 11:31:18 UTC 2010

The correct output should be (taken from a NetBSD system):
perl -MData::Dumper -e 'my @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e);
endpwent(); @e = getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent(); @e =
getpwent(); print Dumper(\...@e); endpwent();'
$VAR1 = [
'root',
'*',
0,
0,
0,
'',
'Charlie &',
'/root',
'/bin/ksh',
0
];
$VAR1 = [
'root',
'*',
0,
0,
0,
'',
'Charlie &',
'/root',
'/bin/ksh',
0
];
$VAR1 = [
'root',
'*',
0,
0,
0,
'',
'Charlie &',
'/root',
'/bin/ksh',
0
];
Taking a look to
http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/D/DBD-Sys.html#DBD-Sys-0.01, this
issue is not limited to FreeBSD 7.3 - it occures on FreeBSD 7.2 and
8.0, too.
I tried several perl versions on my box (perl5.8 from ports,
perl5.10.1 from pkgsrc and the release candidate of perl5.12.0) - with
the same result.
Maybe someone could take a look?
If I can provide additional information, please let me know.
Best regards,
Jens
