Subject: [Bug libc/430] nsswitch.conf doesn't support TRYAGAIN=forever, giving bogus results when NIS is not responding
Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2006 17:03:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060112170327.11656.qmail@sourceware.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20041007145959.430.matthias.andree@gmx.de>
------- Additional Comments From matthias dot andree at gmx dot de 2006-01-12 17:03 -------
Further reasons why the current implementation are wrong are in the original
report. What is the application to make of EIO? With traditional non-NSS
systems, it was permanent, with the bogus glibc NSS implementation, it might as
well be transient and cause the security relevant false results.
Beyond that, getpwnam() might return NULL with errno == ENOMEM, which is bogus
as per IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, 2004 edition.
