Subject: linuxconf produces line splits in /etc/group
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org
Package: linuxconf
Version: 1.17r5-2
we have a problem in conjunction with the following (?) packages:
login 19990827-20
libpam-modules 0.72-9
libpam-runtime 0.72-9
libpam0g 0.72-9
linuxconf 1.17r5-2
we use:
Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 with 2.2.18-raid-mosix (custom kernel with raid
and mosix patches for kernel 2.2.18).
problem:
we have a unix group on the system where the line defining the group in
/etc/group is around 180 characters long. manipulating the group
definition with linuxconf the line is split with \ after approximately
90 characters . this has the effect that users who are listed after the
split will not be in this group after login. nevertheless they can
become a member of the `missing' group with the newgrp command. if I
eliminate the split by hand, such that the definition is a single line,
everything is fine again.
It seems that the program(s) doing the login/authentication (from the
login/pam packages?) has (have) a problem with the parsing of splitted
lines in the group file, but newgrp (login package) does not seem to
have it? A fix depends on whichever of login/pam/linuxconf one may judge
to be the `culprit', but maybe fixing linuxconf to write `proper' lines
to /etc/group is the easier fix ...
