The patch file
That patch is not correct. It breaks e.g. MD5 passwords. I've added a patch that should work to yp-tools-2.6-4 (in rawhide soon). I'm fairly sure it works, but please test it and reopen this bug if it is still broken. |
Hi, I found (and fixed a bug) in Red Hat Linux 6.2 (and possibly in 7.0 as well). The yppasswd didn't check for the length of the passwd entry (13 chars). HPUX appends the password aging information after the password. That causes an error. The fix: ** yp-tools-2.4/src/yppasswd.c.orig Fri Oct 22 12:49:45 1999 --- yp-tools-2.4/src/yppasswd.c Fri Oct 13 14:37:51 2000 *************** *** 581,587 **** /* We can't check the password with shadow passwords enabled. We * leave the checking to yppasswdd */ if (uid != 0 && strcmp (pwd->pw_passwd, "x") != 0) ! if (strcmp (crypt (s, pwd->pw_passwd), pwd->pw_passwd)) { fprintf (stderr, _("Sorry.\n")); return 1; --- 581,587 ---- /* We can't check the password with shadow passwords enabled. We * leave the checking to yppasswdd */ if (uid != 0 && strcmp (pwd->pw_passwd, "x") != 0) ! if (strncmp (crypt (s, pwd->pw_passwd), pwd->pw_passwd,13)) { fprintf (stderr, _("Sorry.\n")); return 1; Please fix this.
