8966.0. "Passwd causes memory fault" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (Zoltan Horvath) Wed Feb 26 1997 04:03

My customer asked me to localize the messages of the passwd program, because
his emplyees don't speak english. They have DU3.2c. I use too.
I tried the ususal way, but with some strange symptoms.

After all, the easiest way to reproduce:

/usr/users/zoly>LANG=en_US.ISO8850-1 
/usr/users/zoly>export LANG

these are for to point to /usr/lib/nls/msg/en_US.ISO8850-1 
don't change the passwd.cat file!

/usr/users/zoly>passwd
Changing password for zoly.

Old passwd:         <----enter here a different password
Memory fault (coredump) <--it should be sorry.

If I unset the LANG variable, the passwd works fine.

Anyway, for probing th message compilation, I made a hungarian catalog for 
the more command. It works fine.

If you have any workaround please let me know.

--zoly
