To be fair, I'm not sure this is even a problem. Rick M. only suggested it as a possibility. I would think that getpwuid() would return the first match which has always been root. At least that's what it does when scanning the passwd file; I'm not sure about NIS. If someone can prove that this will cause a problem with NFSv4, we could consider hackingit. Otherwise I don't think we should change this behavior yet.
I do know that it causes problems from my testing. I think getpwuid() gets "toor" because of the way /etc/passwd gets stored in the database created from it via "vipw". I have no problem coding it as a special case for nfsuserd and documenting it. I just won't guarantee how soon it will happen:-) rick _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
