pw_getconf
() function reads
/etc/passwd.conf and retrieves the value of the option
specified by option from the section given by
key. If no suitable entry is found for the
key an empty string will be returned in data.
To retrieve default values the key default can be used. In this case, if /etc/passwd.conf does not exist or does not contain a default section, the built-in defaults will be returned. They are as follows:
option | data |
ypcipher | old |
localcipher | old |
An empty string is returned for all errors.
pw_getpwconf
() returns the value for the
option specified for the particular user specified in
pwd. If that option is not found, then it tries to
find the option in the primary group of that user, and if that fails, then
it returns the default entry.
pw_getconf
() and pw_getpwconf
()
will fail if:
