commit 5a9af6376d43b58c6545feb86002812a57956654 Author: Florian Weimer Date: Fri Sep 25 20:20:33 2015 +0200 Fix inconsistent passwd compensation in nss/bug17079.c It used to be common practice to have a statically linked shell for an alternative root account, as in: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash toor:x:0:0:root recovery account:/root:/sbin/sash This causes problems with passwd NSS tests because a UID-based lookup will only retrieve one of those entries. The original version of nss/bug17079.c detected this, but failed to use this information later on. diff --git a/nss/bug17079.c b/nss/bug17079.c index 9846737..0249922 100644 --- a/nss/bug17079.c +++ b/nss/bug17079.c @@ -72,7 +72,11 @@ init_test_items (void) struct passwd *pwd2 = getpwuid (test_items[i].pw_uid); if (pwd1 == NULL || !equal (pwd1, test_items + i) || pwd2 == NULL || !equal (pwd2, test_items + i)) - test_items[i].pw_name = NULL; + { + printf ("info: skipping user \"%s\", UID %ld due to inconsistency\n", + test_items[i].pw_name, (long) test_items[i].pw_uid); + test_items[i].pw_name = NULL; + } else found = true; } @@ -195,6 +199,10 @@ test_buffer_size (size_t buffer_size) for (int i = 0; i < test_count; ++i) for (size_t padding_size = 0; padding_size < 3; ++padding_size) { + /* Skip entries with inconsistent name/UID lookups. */ + if (test_items[i].pw_name == NULL) + continue; + test_one (test_items + i, buffer_size, '\0', padding_size); if (padding_size > 0) {
