[Tiger-devel] Misc. errors on Sun 5.8

[Cox, Michael]

Hi.

I've given 3.2.1 a spin and noticed the following. I'd be happy to create
bug reports on the website if you want. That area doesn't seem to be used
much, though, so I thought I'd just start with this list.

I used the default tigerrc.

1) The scripts get unpacked with owning UID 1000, causing errors. Any reason
not to use 0? Isn't this typically going to be run as UID 0?

2) There appear to be a couple of problems (on Solaris 8 at least) with line
255 of check_passwd. The line is:

$GREP -Ev ^$admin_account_list: $WORKDIR/p1uid.$$ |

First, GREP is given the -E option, but GREP=/usr/bin/grep which doesn't
support -E (/usr/xpg4/bin/grep does).  Is the -E even needed? I think the ^
is understood without it.

I'm not sure what's going on exactly with the other one, but the same line I
think also returns:

Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
./scripts/check_passwd:
adm:|^bin:|^daemon:|^games:|^lp:|^mail:|^news:|^operator
:|^sync:|^sys:|^uucp:|^man:|^proxy:|^majordom:|^postgres:|^www-data:|^operat
or:|
^irc:|^gnats:: not found

I get this last bit both with and without the -E on line 255.


3) + ./scripts/check_aliases
grep: can't open /etc/sendmail.cf

On Solaris, I think this usually lives in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.


4) Misc. other errors. I'm not sure if they're problems or not.
