[Samba] [Announce] Samba 4.11.10 Available for Download

[Peter Eriksson]

Compilation fails on FreeBSD due to NSS_BUFLEN_PASSWD not being defined. This simple patch “fixes” that:

+#endif

 static char *get_user_home_dir(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx)
 {
        struct passwd pwd = {0};


One might wanna change the code to use a dynamically allocated ‘buf’ and have a loop around getpwnam_r() that checks for ERANGE and retry with a bigger ‘buf’ though.
(Same basically goes for all the get{pw,gr}xx_r() functions - not 100% important for getpw unless you have extremely long path’s or silly long full names but the getgrxx() calls might need it for groups with huge membership lists…)
