Subject: [PATCH] liblxc: Add username and uid lookup/check.
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2009 20:21:57 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090226042157.GC11052@us.ibm.com> (raw)

Add the ability to lookup usernames and check uids. Bails out early if the given
uid/name does not exist and avoids using atoi() (which is bad because we can't
tell if it parsed an int or a pumpkin).

Signed-off-by: Matt Helsley <matthltc-r/Jw6+rmf7HQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org>

Also gets rid of a bogus "maybe used uninitialized" warning.
