>Description:
If you have a line of the form '+@netgroup:::::::::' in master.passwd
before a wildcard '+:::::::::' entry, the wildcard entry is not
processed by 'getpwent' when sequentially scanning the password entries.
The problem appears to be that _pw_stepping_yp is not reset to 0 after
scanning through a netgroup (see gen/getpwent.c:unwind) and before
scanning through the '+' wildcard entry.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
The following patch fixes the problem:
*** getpwent.c.orig Fri Aug 6 12:37:41 1999
--- getpwent.c Fri Aug 6 12:45:43 1999
***************
*** 425,430 ****
--- 425,431 ----
} else {
endgrent();
latch = 0;
+ _pw_stepping_yp = 0;
gr = NULL;
return(0);
}
