[Tiger-devel] RFC: Move check_passwdformat to systems/Linux/2? |

Hello all,
Currently if the Tiger_Check_PASSWD is defined in the tigerrc, Tiger
tries to run both check_passwd and check_passwdformat
Snippet taken from tiger:
-------------------------------------------------
[ "$Tiger_Check_PASSWD" != 'N' ] && {
echo "`$TIMECMD`> Checking password files..."
run_script check_passwd >> $logtmp
echo "`$TIMECMD`> Checking password format..."
run_script check_passwdformat >> $logtmp
}
--------------------------------------------------
The problem with this is the check_passwdformat check depends upon
COLUMN and Linux is the only platform to define COLUMN:
$ find . -type f | xargs grep COLUMN
./Linux/2/config:COLUMN=`findcmd column`
./Linux/2/config:export PWD AUTORPM APT ID EXPAND LASTLOG TEST TEE
COLUMN
This causes the following messages to show up in the tiger logs:
# Checking the format of passwd and group files.
--ERROR-- [init001e] Don't have required command COLUMN.
Not a major deal ... but I can not find an equivalent of COLUMN for
HP-UX or Tru64 ... so this error is kinda pointless for these platforms
:)
The other choice I have is to add an overriding check_passwdformat
module (possibly empty) to both HPUX and Tru64 (or possibly default?) to
remove this error...
Thoughts?
Thanks!
