I have a requirement to get BOTH the password aging that's available in the
att universe AND the quota system available in the bsd universe running
together under OSx4.1. Under the older version of quotas (aka Melbourne
quotas) that came with pre-OSx4.1, these two features were incompatible
since they both used the same location (pw_quota/pw_age) in the passwd
structure to store information, one for # of quota warnings, the other for
aging info. See below for extract from <pwd.h>:
BSD universe ATT universe
struct passwd { struct passwd {
char *pw_name; char *pw_name;
char *pw_passwd; char *pw_passwd;
int pw_uid; int pw_uid;
int pw_gid; int pw_gid;
int pw_quota; char *pw_age;
char *pw_comment; char *pw_comment;
char *pw_gecos; char *pw_gecos;
char *pw_dir; char *pw_dir;
char *pw_shell; char *pw_shell;
}; };
Now under the `new` quota system (based on Sun's quota system),
does there still exist an incompatability between these features?
Any help/comments/suggestions would be appreciated.
