Re: Problems with getpwnam(), rxvt, utmp...
Maybe my troubles with getpwuid() are somehow related to yours.
(Reasoning that so many programs out there are running fine, I did not
file a bug report either.)
On my libc6 system, when I use getpwuid() to get a passwd struct, the
struct fields are always displaced by one. That is, I dereference
pw_dir, but I get pw_gecos instead, and when I dereference pw_passwd I get
pw_name, and so on.
Now that I think about it, maybe the objc binary was not
pure and it had both libc5 and libc6 components in it; do not remember what
ldd said 10 days ago, but nothing too obvious thought. I spend HOURS
to pinpoint the problem, so I moved straight to a libc5 machine because
everything over there was working correctly.
