From f7ac9e71b18fa7314151f2ab65ee0bdd2ea89c07 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Karel Zak Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2015 12:25:56 +0100 Subject: login, mount: fix __SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX usage sysconf(_SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MAX) returns initial suggested size for pwd buffer (see getpwnam_r man page or POSIX). This is not large enough in some cases. Yes, this sysconf option is misnamed (should be _SC_GETPW_R_SIZE_MIN).
