[yast-devel] snapper 0.3.3 fails to accept group in ALLOW_GROUPS

When I try to add a group to ALLOW_GROUPS in a snapper config file I get a "invalid group" error. The issue was tracked down to getgrnam_r(). In snapper-0.3.3/snapper/AppUtil.cc get_group_gid() fails to find GID when bufsize is too small. I have a lot of users in a group in /etc/group. getgrnam_r() fails to return with success. Increasing bufsize from 1024 to 2000 worked. Removing some of the users from the group also helps. I recommend to do something like described in http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/getgrnam.html -- Holger Jakob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: yast-devel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: yast-devel+owner@opensuse.org
