I am starting to do some more extensive testing of the running CSuite system on soltst (soltst.cs.dal.ca), a Sun SparcServer 1000 running Solaris 2.5 and - to some extent - on the Tadpole (SunOS 4.1.2). Shall we make a ccntech account on soltst, so that other ccn-techers can join in? On soltst, I've hit a bit of a snag at the account activation stage, in lib/newacct-make, which is called from cronbin/passwd-batch. The problem is that newacct-make fails when it tries to change to ownership of the new user's directory when the user doesn't exist yet. It appears that, on Solaris, if you try to `chmod 1000.500 dog.txt` when there is no user with UID 1000 in /etc/passwd it fails, whereas on Linux or SunOS it blindly assignes that UID to the file without checking /etc/passwd. On the Tadpole, there seems to be a problem with /etc/mkpasswd, which is called from lib/passwd_edit. Here's an excerpt from log/test.passwd-edit: + /etc/mkpasswd -p /etc/ptmp ld.so: call to undefined procedure _strsep from 0x4178 This eventually causes passwd_edit to enter an infinite loop.
