On 2001-03-20, Dan Langille scribbled:
# I was cleaning up a box which had both JOHN and john as users. I did
# a rmuser JOHN. It removed both users. Is this expected behaviour? I
# say it breaks POLA.
In the rmuser script, there is a Search/Replace call that has /io, which
searches in non-case sensitive mode.
Below is a clip of what I have under 4.2-STABLE:
while (<MASTER_PW>) {
if (not /^\Q$login_name:/io) {
print NEW_PW;
} else {
print STDERR "Dropped entry for $login_name\n" if \
$debug;
$skipped = 1;
}
}
Removing the i would probably resolve the non-case sensitive issue of
rmuser.
