I'm working on porting an older shadow password system to Digital UNIX.
for various reasons, I can't make use of C2. The one I'm working with is
John F. Haugh II's version from 1993.
I had it almost working some time ago, but ran in to trouble with LAT
connections, which I no longer need to worry about.
However, I recently went back to work on it, and it seems that when the
programs are installed, even when I haven't ter converted the password
file over, the getlogin() function fails with an EINVAL. The man page
talks about EINVAL, but it seems only to relate to getlogin_r() and
setlogin(), since no parameters are passed to getlogin().
Does anyone know what getlogin() uses for data? They used to use utmp
info, but utmp looks valid to me (who works, and a test program parsed
it fine).
Any ideas?
