No it has not been done. The error return code from
the function in questino, vauth_getpw only returns
NULL (for use not found) and a value (for a user found)
There is no other error types. If we changed it to
return a -1, for example, it may break other code.
It could return an OutOfBand error, in a global
error variable.
What would be the best way to do this?
1) Have vauth_getpw return -1 and review all the code
using vauth_getpw
or
2) return an out of band error value?
