When the basehome does not exist, it creates all intermediate directories as
required, which is logically equivalent to mkdir(1) with -m and -p options.
However, it modifies all intermediate directories, not just the final home
directory unlike mkdir. This problem was introduced in two revisions, i.e.,
r1.59 (SVN r167919) and r1.60 (SVN r168044).

The size of the username record in utmp files should not influence the
maximum username length. Right now ut_user/ut_name is big enough, so in
this case it's dead code anyway.
Remove pw_getrand() unneded now: arc4random_uniform() is stronger then
pw_getrand()'s MD5 tricks (inactive) and its active version, mixing
arc4random() bytes in one, not make things better at all.
sanity check by invoking "pwd_mkdb -C". However, if this failed it
silently returned success. Fix this so it fails the update operation
instead.

the existing list via the '-M' option. The '-M' option requires someone
to fetch the existing members with pw, deleting the undesired members from
the list and sending the altered list back to pw.

the pw utility to avoid updating values passed by other options
processed before the -d option in the code path.

he pw_checkname() routine, but should work exactly the same except for the
above change, and that error messages are somewhat more informative.
