>Release: FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE i386
>Organization:
UT Applied Research Laboratories
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE, and 4.3-RC2, probably others, using
NIS netgroups.
>Description:
NIS (yp) netgroups set-up as follows:
ssh-users adg-ssh-users omg-ssh-users
adg-ssh-users
omg-ssh-users (-,foo,) (-,bar,)
A call to setnetgrent("ssh-users") will hang due to the empty
adg-ssh-users netgroup. However, it does work when accessed
via /etc/passwd using the +@ syntax...
>How-To-Repeat:
using above conditions...
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
char *nh, *nu, *nd;
printf("1\n");
setnetgrent("ssh-users");
printf("2\n");
nh = nu = nd = (char *)0;
while (getnetgrent(&nh, &nu, &nd) > 0) {
printf("3\n");
printf("> %s\n", nu);
}
printf("4\n");
endnetgrent();
printf("5\n");
exit(0);
}
>Fix:
Currently investigating where the hang is occuring. Will update
as soon as I find out more, unless someone else finds it first
and lets me know. Probably in the parse_netgrp function in
/usr/src/lib/libc/gen/getnetgrent.c
