Wetmore" <aw2t+@andrew.cmu.edu> Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: NetBSD-0.9 and /etc/pwd.db Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1993 08:09:11 -0400 Organization: Sophomore, Math/Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 10 Message-ID: <UgSpNbe00iV2816Vw6@andrew.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: po4.andrew.cmu.edu Did the system passwd database format change in NetBSD-0.9? I have had lots of programs complain that they can't read it, and I get a lot of "/etc/pwd.db: Inappropriate file type of format". I have tried recompiling the database with no luck. I did install the security package. Should I recompile any software that uses getpwent()? alex
