login breaks w. libc.4.6.27

login breaks w. libc.4.6.27

Post by Michel Ande » Wed, 01 Feb 1995 18:25:27



When i changed my dll from 4.4.4. to 4.6.27 all worked well except that
login was broken: it complained that setutent could not find UTMP and
therefore i was unable to login. Changing the libs back to 4.4.4 enabled
me to login again.

Then I compiled login.c from linux-util-1.10 w. libc.4.6.27 but when
executing it, it complained with the same message. So i would be pleased if
someone could tell me what i'm doing wrong here.

FYI: i did not accidently erase /etc/utmp, i use gcc2.4.5, kernel 1.0.9
and i did read the docs, although a manpage about setutent is missing...

Regards, Michel.

Obvious solution: get the source for libc-linux4.6.27, and recursively grep
thru all sources and headers for the strings 'utmp' or 'setutent'. Note the
path to the utmp file. Then create a symlink if necessary.

This is cuz the default directory where utmp recides has been changed to
/usr/adm or /var/adm.  you should create link from your /etc/utmp if you
dont want to compile your login binaries again :)

1. Interviews *is* broken with libc 4.6.27 ...

Having upgraded libc/libm I find that the InterViews applications idraw and
ibuild are broken. ibuild halts with a Floating Point Exception before it
shows its window. idraw also causes a Floating Point Exception when
File/New or File/Save is chosen. It is not due to new kernels, since I
reverted to 1.0.9 which used to work with InterViews --- not any more!

Anyone else seen this? Any solutions? Is there a new version of InterViews
out there somewhere?

Thanks.
