| Logged In: YES user_id=200117 The test workstation is getting its password and group info from NIS. The test workstation is running Red Hat Linux, but the NIS server is running HPUX 11i. I believe these are the entries causing the errors: lancaster:/etc > ypcat passwd | grep '-' nobody:*:-2:-2::/: lancaster:/etc > ypcat group |
grep '-' nogroup:*:-2: |

| Logged In: YES user_id=1126061 AFAIK getgrgid() doesn't handle negative integers very well (I can't even add a group with a negative gid on my NetBSD machine). |

| Logged In: YES user_id=89016 I'm prepared to throw out the fancy tests from test_pwd.py and test_grp.py. They don't buy us much anyway and basically test more the OS then the Python modules. (For related bugs see #779218, #962226 and #775964.) |

| Logged In: YES user_id=21627 We should drop the tests in a selective manner. In this case, if -2 is in the password/group file, we should be able to find it: somebody might want to search by a gid value entered from a user, and that ought to work as well. rptownsend: could you investigate in more detail what's going on, on your system? |

| Logged In: YES user_id=200117 When I run the following script on the workstation import pwd, grp entries = pwd.getpwall() for e in entries: if e[2] < 0: print e entries = grp.getgrall() for e in entries: if e[2] < 0: print e -------------------------- I get this output: ('nobody', '*', -2, -2, '', '/', '') ('nogroup', '*', -2, []) |

| Hi, Thank you for your contribution, I close this issue, 2.6 and 3.0 are deprecated and I can't reproduce the errors. |
