Subject: hurd: verifying password is uid based
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.7
Message-Id: <E12HDOI-00016a-00@localhost>

Organization: Marcus Brinkmann's Home

Package: hurd
Version: Feb 2000
Severity: normal

Hi,

"The password server protocol is broken, because
it sends a uid instead of the name.  The nice ugids_* functions in
hurd/libshouldbeinlibc that take care of it all have uid-based interfaces
too, so a bunch of stuff needs to be rearranged to fix it properly."

Thanks,
Marcus
