The pwd.db and spwd.db files store the change and expire dates as
unsigned 32-bit ints, which overflow in 2106. Reject larger values for
now, until the introduction of a v5 password database.
i386 has 32-bit time_t and so dates beyond y2038 are already rejected by
mktime.

The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
Special thanks to Wind River for providing access to "The Duke of
Highlander" tool: an older (2014) run over FreeBSD tree was useful as a
starting point.
Initially, only tag files that use BSD 4-Clause "Original" license.

a new function dup_shell() to replace ok_shell() and make it unconditionnally
strdup() its result to make the caller's code simplier. Change ok_shell() to
just return an integer value suitable for tests (it was used mainly for that
purpose). Do not use strdup() in the caller's code but rely on dup_shell()
that will do the job for us.

from a script as if it was done in the interactive editor.
When reassembling the gecos string, trim any excess trailing commas, they
look ugly in the passwd file. :-)
Have a simple Makefile tweak to prevent mortal users from changing their
fullname. As ISP's we have seem some real bizzare stuff here..
When decoding the change/expire string, allow the month number as a
synonym for the name of the month.. (ie: 1 as well as Jan or January)
Note that using numbers means there's a chance that you can get bitten
if you're not used to the American DD-MM-YY order.
