The fix I applied to pwd_mkdb is an improvement over what was there
before i.e. nothing, but is a poor solution at the moment since it won't
work correctly on the alpha.
The following code snippet is OK on the i386 but on the alpha ULONG_MAX
is 64 bits and so is a totally wrong constant to check a max uid
against.
id = strtoul(p, (char **)NULL, 10);
if (errno == ERANGE) {
warnx("%s > max uid value (%lu)", p, ULONG_MAX);
return (0)
}
I think we need a MAX_UID and a MAX_GID to perform checks like this.
Anyone got any objections to adding them to /usr/include/limits.h ?
Paul.
