[Mono-dev] UnixUserInfo issues in OpenBSD

[pablosantosluac at terra.es]

Hi all,

The following simple program fails on OpenBSD:

using System;
using Mono.Unix;

public class Info
{

        public static void Main()
        {
                Console.WriteLine(Environment.UserName);
                Console.WriteLine(new
UnixUserInfo(Environment.UserName).UserName);
                Console.WriteLine(UnixUserInfo.GetRealUser().UserName);
        }
}


Environment.UserName retrieves the right user.


The two next calls fail saying "invalid param":

  Console.WriteLine(new UnixUserInfo(Environment.UserName).UserName);
  Console.WriteLine(UnixUserInfo.GetRealUser().UserName);

It seems the problem is the return of the native method getpwuid_r, that
returns 1 instead of 0.

I tried running as root to (suspected it could be a permissions issue)
but I get the same result.

I thought it could be related to an old issue with UnixGroupInfo which
fails if the groups are incorrectly defined (have unexisting users) but
I think this time my config files are correctly set... :O

Thanks,

pablo
