Hi,
OpenBSD-current was changed so that shadow database isn't opened by default
anymore:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.cvs/155646
This affects calls to getpwnam and getpwuid functions which chicken uses for the
user-information procedure.
I see two ways to fix this:
1) add defined(__OpenBSD__) checks to posixunix.scm to call the shadow versions
of
these functions if the encrypted password is really needed.
or
2) add note to user-information that the OpenBSD doesn't provide the encrypted
password and check if any eggs depend on having the password.
Which one would you prefer? I can make patch for it.
Timo
