[quote="Angus Au"]I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.
Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.[/quote]
There is a fix, we have 2.6.1 running on Solaris.
A colleague of me installed it and did mention something about having to go through the source and adapting the
makefile. I didn't hear him speak of missing libraries though, I will ask him next week. |
elog allows me to create user "blahblah ", posted by Dimitrios Tsirigkas on Fri Feb 3 18:15:47 2006

Hi,
I noticed that when I register a username that contains whitespaces (eg "boing "), elog allows me to create the user of that name and updates the password file accordingly. It doesn't log me in, but it gives me no error message either. I also found that if I repeat the process it adds yet another entry in the password file, by the same name "boing ". Is that a bug or is there something wrong with my configuration?
Cheers,
Dimitris |

By the way, it is also possible to create a user that doesn't have a password! Shouldn't that be forbidden?

The util library was added recently because of the new shell substitution functionaly, which requires the forkpty() function call. If you know in which library the forkpty is available on solaris, the makefile could be adjusted accordingly. If the forkpty is not available at all, we have to disable the shell substitution under solaris via conditional compilation. |

Ups, that problem must have been there for quite some time now. I fixed it in the current SVN version. |

Well, some people want that! |

Well, I tell you what is wrong: The form says explicitly (name may not contain blanks) and you did not listen 
I can add a simple check if the name contains blanks, but then some people will come up with other strange characters (@#$%), and I'm not sure which of those gives problems. If you test this carefully and tell me which characters to make forbidden, I will happyly add a simple check. |

Ok, fair enough. But maybe there could be an optional flag in the configuration that disables blank passwords... I wouldn't want some imposter to start entering stuff under the username of another user, so it would be nice if I could have some way of forcing them to have a password, even if it's a one-letter password.
Thanks,
