We were using strncpy(3), which is designed to copy from a string into a (null-padded) fixed-size character array. However, we were doing the opposite: copying from a known-size array (which was a prefix of a string), into a string. That's why we had to manually zero the buffer afterwards. Use instead mempcpy(3) to copy the non-null bytes, and then terminate with a null byte with stpcpy(..., ""). Cc: "Serge E. Hallyn" <serge@hallyn.com> Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
