the environment. This allows big ID warnings to be suppressed for
vipw and chpass as well.
Since the environment variable test is only performed for callers
of pw_scan() that do not set pw_big_ids_warning, the test can still
be overriden. Currently, chpass and pwd_mkdb are the only users
of pw_scan() and neither of them overrides the environment variable
test.
track.
The Id line is normally at the bottom of the main comment block in the
man page, separated from the rest of the manpage by an empty comment,
like so;
.\" $Id$
.\"
If the immediately preceding comment is a @(#) format ID marker than the
the $Id$ will line up underneath it with no intervening blank lines.
Otherwise, an additional blank line is inserted.

Have pwd_mkdb lock the source file while rebuilding the database. When
called by programs such as vipw, the source file is a temporary file and
this does not conflict with the lock on /etc/master.passwd already held
by vipw. When run manually, however, master.passwd is typically specified
as the argument and the locking prevents other programs from messing with
master.passwd during the database rebuild.
Also pwd_mkdb uses a blocking exclusive lock as it may be called from
a script. The -N option was added to cause pwd_mkdb to get the lock
non-blocking and exit with an error if the attempt fails, again useful
for scripts.
