f16d2ab2d3 Handle the race condition where vipw may lock a password file which has
just been replaced.  After our lock succeeds we check if st_nlink is 0
    and if it is we close the descriptor and retry our open/lock sequence.

4da8edd59e Since vfork() was changed to fork(), we have to pass errno back from the
child to the parent somehow.

1fd98d7d88 Calls one or more of malloc(), warn(), err(), syslog(), execlp() or
execvp() in the child branch of a vfork(). Changed to use fork()
instead.

Some of these (mv, find, apply, xargs) might benefit greatly from
being rewritten to use vfork() properly.

79a1b8d9e2 Implement incremental passwd database updates. This is done by ading a '-u'
option to pwd_mkdb and adding this option to utilities invoking it.
Further, the filling of both the secure and insecure databases has been
merged into one loop giving also a performance improvemnet.
Note that I did *not* change the adduser command. I don't read perl
(it is a write only language anyway).
The change will drastically improve performance for passwd and
friends with large passwd files. Vipw's performance won't change.
In order to do that some kind of diff should be made between the
old and new master.passwd and depending the amount of changes, an
incremental or complete update of the databases should be agreed
upon.

d877befa37 Small NIS tweak: frob pw_error() a little so that it can say either
'NIS information unchanged' or '/etc/master.passwd unchanged'
depending on which was is being modified (conditional on -DYP).

This is to save me the trouble of writing a whole other error
routine (nis_error()?) for the upcoming changes to passwd and
chpass.
