heck. Watch through our hidden camera, ladies and gentlemen,
as this one-line addition to the syslog output generates hundreds
of thousands of lines of email in response, all from people
decrying the evils of electronic noise pollution! :-)
What this change does, simply speaking, is syslog it every time
someone changes their local password. I need this at a local ISP to
tell whether people are reacting to expires in a timely fashion or
not. To disable it, uncomment -DLOGGING in the Makefile.
If your users change their passwords so often as to fill your logfile,
then you may also have another administrative problem to deal with.
Do not exit with status 0 if mkdep(1) cannot create output,
e.g. if .depend is not writable or the FS is readonly mounted.
Store arguments as comments for debugging purpose.
after I installed the last SNAP :). Because of the way the 'use NIS
or local?' logic is set up here, it was possible to force the use
of the NIS password changer even though the specified user didn't exist
in NIS (i.e. # passwd foo, where foo is a local-only user). In this
case, we fall intp yp_passwd() without the corresponding yp_password
structure being filled in, which leads to an NULL pointer dereference.
Also fixed the logic like I just did with chpass so that if the user
is both in NIS and the local password database, the program makes a
more sensible guess as to which one to use (if NIS is turned on in
/etc/master.passwd, then use NIS, else default to local).
enabled in /etc/master.passwd & friends. This allows the 'USER_YP_AND_LOCAL'
case to make a more sensible guess (if NIS is enabled, default to NIS,
otherwise default to local -- this is better than defaulting to NIS
all the time).
Machine come and go...
Little patch removes lists down for over 4 days from the list.
(If you haven't noticed they are down in that period, you should
turn them off!)

For definitions without an "nc" entry, some parts have now been
mis-detected as `non-comment'. Avoid this by not converting the
noregexp in case the "nc" capability has not been found. I begin to
wonder why things like missing "ab"/"ae"'s do work at all...

When you ask pr to use form feeds at the end of pages and specify a page
length and tell pr to not put the fancy headers and footers on each
pages, then pr will not separate the pages with a form feed.

which is what syslogd presumably uses too. Notice that the "protocol"
is bogus in not defining the timezone. "protocol" because it hardly
deserves the name :-)
