A very little Display Manager and an obstacle

[ASX]

also,, for clarity: strlen("12345"); will return 5 but to store that string you will need at least 6 bytes: --> [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [\0]

Ok. Now it's clear! Thank you

Just to close the topic: despite my time is like gold for me nowadays, I managed to make my little Display Manager "EasyDM" check users' password in FreeBSD too! Through a more POSIX way without the "shadow" library, that is a linuxism.
I fixed bug #1: password check in *BSD systems not working.

Moreover, I banned sprintf() from my little home-made DM, to use snprintf() instead

Code: Select all

                       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE
			#include <syslog.h>
			#include <unistd.h>
			#include <shadow.h>
			
			main(int argc, char *argv[])
				{
				char parola_da_cryptare[100];
				char utente[100];
				struct spwd * dati_da_etc_passwd ;
				char *puntatore_a_parola_da_cryptare ;
				snprintf(parola_da_cryptare,sizeof(parola_da_cryptare),"%s",argv[1]);
				snprintf(utente,sizeof(utente),"%s",argv[2]);
				dati_da_etc_passwd=getspnam(utente);
				puntatore_a_parola_da_cryptare=crypt(parola_da_cryptare,dati_da_etc_passwd->sp_pwdp) ;

Thank you ASX! I have learnt a lot in forums like this one...

Thanks for sharing you work, I will take a look soon.

Btw, the image is not accessible for me ... may be because I'm not logged on google ...
