htpasswd clears passwd file on Sun when /var/tmp is full

           Summary: htpasswd clears passwd file on Sun when /var/tmp is full
           Product: Apache httpd-1.3
           Version: 1.3.27
          Platform: Sun
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: Other
         Component: Auth/Access
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jscarsdale@verizon.net


A populated passwd file is replaced with a 0 byte file
if you attempt any operation on the file using htpasswd
and your /var/tmp (or /var/adm) drive is full.

I think what is happening is that a temporary version
of the passwd file (with updates) is written to /var/tmp
and then copied back to the original version.

The htpasswd operation should notice an out-of-space condition
or other file error and fail, rather than replacing the original version
with an empty file.
