This commit will serve to document why we shouldn't worry about the truncation in the call to strlcpy(3). Since we have one more byte in tmptty than in full_tty, truncation will produce a string that is at least one byte longer than full_tty. Such a string could never compare equal, so we're actually handling the truncation in a clever way. Maybe too clever, but that's why I'm documenting it here. Now, about the simplification itself: Since we made sure that both full_tty and tmptty are null-terminated, we can call strcmp(3) instead of strncmp(3). We can also simplify the return logic avoiding one branch. Cc: Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Iker Pedrosa <ipedrosa@redhat.com>
shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
