From 8d21f19e4ea884b8f28e4feb635e0e5617096a14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: sheldonh Date: Thu, 2 Dec 1999 16:39:15 +0000 Subject: Replace the -q option to pwd_mkdb with a test for PW_SCAN_BIG_IDS in the environment. This allows big ID warnings to be suppressed for vipw and chpass as well. Since the environment variable test is only performed for callers of pw_scan() that do not set pw_big_ids_warning, the test can still be overriden. Currently, chpass and pwd_mkdb are the only users of pw_scan() and neither of them overrides the environment variable test. --- usr.bin/chpass/chpass.1 | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) (limited to 'usr.bin/chpass') diff --git a/usr.bin/chpass/chpass.1 b/usr.bin/chpass/chpass.1 index b36ddbb..41595e1 100644 --- a/usr.bin/chpass/chpass.1 +++ b/usr.bin/chpass/chpass.1 @@ -230,6 +230,12 @@ When the editor terminates, the information is re-read and used to update the user database itself.
