How unstable is the CVS source?: smbpasswd

[Bertl]

Hi!

I'm not really sure, but I think I was able to boil
down the problem with smbpasswd to a little testproggy:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pwd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

main()
{
  struct passwd *ret;
  ret = getpwnam("stephan");
  if (ret)
    {
printf("ret->pw_passwd:%s\n",ret->pw_passwd);
                    free(ret->pw_passwd);
puts("holladrio...");
    }
}

compiled with:
gcc -o a a.c

gives the following output:
$./a
ret->pw_passwd:x
Segmentation fault

in smbpasswd this only happens when we can get a
shadow-passwd entry (when we run as root)...

I don't know if this is a bug in libc or in samba...

hope this helps...
