Description:
------------
Current Version: File_Passwd-1.1.0
If passwd file contains a existing '#' in the geckos string it will break the passwd file from that point out by ommiting the rest of that line.
Example Passwd entry before PEAR interaction:
user1:x:123123:123:User_Guy_#1_1231234:/home/user1:/bin/false
Example Passwd entry after PEAR interaction:
user1:x:123123:123:User_Guy_
This would make any lines after this unusable to the system.
Reproduce code:
---------------
Manually usermod the passwd file and add a '#' to the comments.
Then execute PEAR script to modify another user. At this point, cat'ing the passwd file.. it will be hosed.
Expected result:
----------------
Expected the '#' sign to remain within the passwd file.
Actual result:
--------------
'#' sign is removed.. and all characters after it till the newline.
