It’s hip2b2

I just downloaded the latest version of jailkit (version 1.3-1) from Dag Wieer’s repository. Apparently when I installed it in my RHEL 4.0 x86_64 system, it does not work. I get the error “uid %d or gid %d does not have a name”. I checked and double-checked the installation but everything was fine. I started debugging and realized that getpwuid() and getgrgid() in RHEL under a jailed environment does not work as advertised. So, I wrote a patch that uses looped fgetgrent() and fgetpwent() instead.

Here is the patch:

• http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/patch/jailkit-1.3-error.patch

Here are the RPMs:

• http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/jailkit-1.3-2.rf.i386.rpm
• http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/rpm/jailkit-1.3-2.rf.x86_64.rpm
• http://cng.ateneo.edu/cng/wyu/software/srpm/jailkit-1.3-2.rf.src.rpm

I emailed the jailkit maintainer already. But, in the meantime, here are the patches. Hope this helps!
