Hi there! I'd like to report a bug in CODA 5.0.3. My CODA administrator user is called 'coda_adm'. When you use pcfgen to turn vice.pdb into vice.pcf, pcfgen core dumps with the error "syntax error". A "where" on the coredump shows: (gdb) where #0 0x4002b811 in __kill () #1 0x4002b63f in raise (sig=6) at ../sysdeps/posix/raise.c:27 #2 0x4992c84f in abort () at ../sysdeps/generic/abort.c:83 #3 0x804cbf5 in yyerror (s=0x8050141 "syntax error") at parsepdb.yacc:291 #4 0x804e2c3 in yyparse () at y.tab.c:440 #5 0x8049358 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbffffd94) at pcfgen.c:161 Username is defined as an IDENTIFIER, which in turn is defined as [A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9]* in parsepdb.lex (line 87). Unfortunately, my copy of POSIX.1 fails to define the valid range of a username, but as I'm able to create users with underscores in their name, it only seems reasonable that CODA should support this ;-) Best regards, StuReceived on 1999-03-06 07:17:59
