We first noticed that the rename(2) call has a serious bug when we ran
out of space on our root partition during a passwd rebuild when adding
users in several sittings. This of course required me to drive 60 miles
to bring the system back up...
After digging through the source code a bit, I came to the decision that
the void mv(from, to) function was the culprit in pwd_mkdb, in
particular, the rename(2) call.
Other major utils effected by this seem to be the mv(1) command.
I'll do more digging, but would really like to know if anyone out there
has a fix for this?
Jim
