Document that popen() can now create bidirectional pipes and handles.
Note that this needs to be updated since we have a native bidirectional
pipe and don't use socketpair() here.
style and b) the wrong logic. Should be strstr(s, "##") != NULL. (Note
that the passwd.adjunct stuff has not been merged into 2.2 so this bug
is not in that branch.)
The character `#' introduces a comment. Leading spaces and tabs are
ignored: '^[ \t]*#.*\n$'
Count an empty line - only spaces, tabs or newline - also as a comment.
(to be compatibel with password database comments). '^[ \t]*\n$'
for now so that we don't lose library compatibility. Applications should
define _NEW_VFSCONF and use getvfsbyname() instead of new_getvfsbyname()
if they want the new vfsconf interface. Parts of the old interface
(enough to load vfs modules, I hope) are still available.
- Use MAP_FAILED instead of the constant -1 to indicate
failure (required by POSIX).
- Removed flag arguments of '0' (required by POSIX).
- Fixed code which expected an error return of 0.
- Fixed code which thought any address with the high bit set
was an error.
- Check for failure where no checks were present.

This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
more manageable and convenient referencing by login.conf (login
class database) and (e.g.) login.access.
This is the first of a group of commits which implements the login
class capabilities database.
- getpwent:
o adjunctbuf should be NUL terminated after copying
o _pw_breakout_yp() needs to know the length of the buffer returned
from YP so it can properly NUL terminate its local buffer.
- getgrent:
o YP buffers should be YPMAXRECORD + 2 bytes long and NUL terminated.
(Previously they were hardcoded to 1024 bytes.)
- getnetgrent:
o YP data should be copied with snprintf(), not sprintf()
These are 2.2 candidates. I will wait a few days to make sure these don't
break anything and then, if there are no objections, move them to the 2.2
branch.
line length limit anymore - now 500 members or 5000 members are
possible. For security group lines longer than 256K will be count as
an error. 256K should be enough for 65536 users.
Support comments (lines that begin with a #) if compiled with
option -DGROUP_IGNORE_COMMENTS.
Fortunately it seems that all system utilities which use getgrent()
functions are dynamically linked executables. So you need only
rebuild libc.so.3.0 if you want this change. Note: if you have
an old X server which depend on libc.so.2.* you should rebuild
libc.so.2.* too.
Not a 2.2 candidate.
