[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#505071: Bug#505071: closed ... fixed in shadow 1:4.1.3-1

[Paul Szabo]

I now got my /proc/self/mem-reading test program to work, and it
seems that neither getspnam() nor getspent() leave "garbage" in
memory: no security risk. - Am wondering if the call to endspent()
is needed, when apparently there is no setspent() anywhere; still,
it can do no harm (other than to confuse fools like me).

Cheers, Paul
