I've cut-n-pasted the relevant portions of the error/traces: #1: DEADCODE: virLoginShellAllowedUser() 86 if (pp->str[0] == '%') { (1) Event assignment: Assigning: "ptr" = "pp->str + 1".

[details] Also see events: [freed_arg] 347 VIR_FREE(groups); Not quite sure how you want to approach fixing the second error. There are two VIR_FREE(groups) in virLoginShellAllowedUser() and both would need to be handled properly. Additionally code in main() seems to perhaps use groups() after the call - so freeing it could have other consequences too. John
