Event Timeline

Runtime looks good.

Without patch:

  1. Add foo:*:12345:someuser to /etc/group.
  2. pw user add someuser -G foo
% tail -n2 /etc/group
foo:*:12345:someuser,someuser
someuser:*:1004:

With patch:

  1. Add foo:*:12345:someuser to /etc/group.
  2. pw user add someuser -G foo
% tail -n2 /etc/group
foo:*:12345:someuser
someuser:*:1002:

Adding @bapt who has done some work here recently.

usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c
381–382

I'm not clear why this change was made?

usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c
381–382

This fixes a different issue raised in that same bug report. To reproduce:

  1. Create a group and add at least one member to it for whom it is not the login group (ie. have a nonempty member list in /etc/group)
  1. Add a user with the same name as that group and don't specify a login group.

The new user should get the step 1 group as their login group by default, but for some reason (not documented in the git commit history) that only happens if that group has no members in /etc/group. Failing this check, pw creates a duplicate entry for that group in /etc/group.

LGTM, I would appreciate if the 2 issues are solved in 2 differents commits, also since the rewrite pw(8) has a test suite, it would be nice to add regression tests for the issues fixed here, along with the fixes.

usr.sbin/pw/pw_user.c
381–382

should be imho in 2 differents commits.

Split the changes into two commits and added tests. Checked that the tests fail before the two commits and pass after.

  • pw: use existing group entry even if it already has members
  • pw: check for user in group entry before adding them
  • pw: add regression tests

Runtime test of the second report in bug 238995.

Without patch:

  1. Add aarch64:*:31415:aarch64 to /etc/group.
  2. pw user add aarch64 -u 31415
% tail -n2 /etc/group
aarch64:*:31415:aarch64
aarch64:*:31416:

With patch:
Steps 1. and 2. above, then

% grep aarch64 /etc/group
aarch64:*:31415:aarch64

Looks good.

Updated to only include the first commit after discussion with @jrm. Will make separate PRs for the other two commits.

Edit: the other code change is in D41076.
