cuserid(buf)

[Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@suse.de>]

Hi,

For me, the cuserid 3 test always fails:

        /tset/LSB.os/procenv/cuserid/T.cuserid 3        Failed
        
                Test Information:
        cuserid(buf) did not return buf
        current effective user ID is 25000 (VSX_UNUSED_UID)


ID 25000 is not known to the system. Since cuserid is dropped from
the current standards, I'm not sure if the test case is wrong or
glibc. All manual pages say, that, if a userid does not exists,
NULL should be returned. This is, was glibc do.

Does somebody has a standard where cuserid is descriped and can
tell me, what the correct return code is if the uid does not exists ?
Looks like the test case expects the user supplied buffer without
contents. Can somebody verify this?

  Thanks,
   Thorsten
