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. |

-- Ah, just looked at the docs, I see what that buys us. Surely there is a similar function available that is cross platform?

See the config manual and look for $shell |

Ok, I added an empty password check. If too many people will complain, I will make it a flag. |

That worked some time ago, but did not work currently. So I fixed that in the current SVN version. |

Work on PAM Support?, posted by Steve Jones on Wed Feb 8 18:23:52 2006

Stefan (or any others):
Has anyone been seriously looking into building in PAM support in eLog? I ask because I have started reading the developer papers from Sun and looking at sample code.
Thanks

Stefan, I found the following "forkpty()" replacement for running under Solaris. The URL is http://www.developerweb.net/forum/showthread.php?t=2990.
Perhaps this can be used unless someone comes up with a Solaris "util" library.
#ifdef SOLARIS /* Use the code in my_forkpty.c */
int my_forkpty (int *amaster, char *name, void *unused1, void *unused2);
#define forkpty my_forkpty
#endif
-----------------------
my_forkpty.c
-----------------------
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <sys/stream.h>
#include <sys/stropts.h>
/* fork_pty() remplacement for Solaris.
* This ignore the last two arguments
* for the moment
*/
int
my_forkpty (int *amaster,
char *name,
void *unused1,
void *unused2)
{
int master, slave;
char *slave_name;
pid_t pid;
master = open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR);
if (master < 0)
return -1;
if (grantpt (master) < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (unlockpt (master) < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
slave_name = ptsname (master);
if (slave_name == NULL)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
slave = open (slave_name, O_RDWR);
if (slave < 0)
{
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (ioctl (slave, I_PUSH, "ptem") < 0
|| ioctl (slave, I_PUSH, "ldterm") < 0)
{
close (slave);
close (master);
return -1;
}
if (amaster)
*amaster = master;
if (name)
strcpy (name, slave_name);
pid = fork ();
switch (pid)
{
case -1: /* Error */
return -1;
case 0: /* Child */
close (master);
dup2 (slave, STDIN_FILENO);
dup2 (slave, STDOUT_FILENO);
dup2 (slave, STDERR_FILENO);

Not really. I have two big issues higher on my list: XML database format and multithreaded HTTP server. From having a quick look to PAM, I was not sure how easy this would be to implement. If it's not too difficult, it could move higher in the priority list. |
