I think Ed had the right idea. What will you do with stricmp in the
following:
/* Get encrypted password from password file */
if((pwd = getpwnam(name)) == NULL) {
return(-1);
}
On Linux, libc uses strcmp in getpwnam. Of course you could declare
usernames to be case insensitive and hack your libc to make it so...but
the original poster claimed little experience with C...so hacking the
shared libraries is probably a bit more than he wants to tackle.
