The above output looks perfect, and should match the top three lines in your /etc/passwd files. > 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 ]; This output looks wrong, unless NetBSD has three identical root lines at the top of its passwd file. > 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 see a bunch of failed FreeBSD test lines, but I don't see anything relating to getpwent or getreant in the test failure output. Just lines like "Parse errors: Bad plan. You planned 16 tests but ran 12" -- Dan Nelson [email protected] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
