buglet in authenticate.pm line 145
The following warning message appears in the log when users are
checked for membership of a group:
Perl warning: Argument "6 Goodguys" isn't numeric in gt
[...] authenticate.pm line 145
Line 145 is in fact $rt .= " checked" if ($params->{'_reason'} > 3);
but in this case '_reason' has the name of the group, as well
as the number, in it.A dozen lines earlier, the code goes
$params->{'_reason'} =~ m/^(\d+)/;
if ($1 <= 3) {
and in fact $1 is still valid, although relying on it
remaining undisturbed against possible future code changes
might be considered a bit hairy. Could just repeat the match
to be safe.
Curious, the very same bug was said to have been fixed in 2.632
and yet here it is again in 2.711.
Sorry, haven't had time to check if this happens in the
latest version, so this is just a place-holder report.
