fgetpwent source

by G. Vitilla » Wed, 14 Sep 1994 06:51:53

I would like to take a look to the
source of fgetpwent() library subroutine
of Linux.

Anyone may mail a copy of the source to me?

In any case where I may found the complete
source tree of the linux system?
I don't mean the kernel I mean the sources
of the system libaries (like libc.a) and utilities.

Thank in advance, Peppe.

1. fgetpwent() returns encrypted passwd from secure password file!

Hey all you C, tacacs, and HP-UX gurus!

I am trying to install a tacacs server on an HP-750 running HPUX 9.03,
and I'm having a few problems.

Here's what I want to happen: I want to have a password file
for dial-up access, separate from /etc/passwd and /.secure/etc/passwd.
When I compiled xtacacsd as received, I got an error because setpwfile
was being called twice, and errored out about not finding the /etc/passwd
to replace. (This is info for those of you who know tacacs and are
wondering why I'm changing the code.) Looking at the code, I realized
that if I could use fgetpwent, I could avoid setpwfile.

I've written my own little
struct passwd *fgetpwnam(FILE *mypasswdFile, char* nameToFind)
function, that (although it may not be the best way), works exactly as
I expect it to, as long as the program is not running as root. It
returns the password from mypasswdFile without a problem. If this program
is running as root, it appears that fgetpwent is searching mypasswdFile,
retrieves a pw_name, and then does a getspwent( pw_name ). If that call
fails, then it returns the pw_passwd that it already has.

I need to somehow force fgetpwent to only look in the file that I specify--
is this possible, or do I need to write my own routines? The only other
solution that I can think of would be for xtacacsd to not run as root, but
still have some way for it to bind to the socket that it needs. Is _that_
possible?

Is the HP fgetpwent broken, or do they all do this?

Thanks for any help/pointers you can give me.
