also add the missing declaration of forkpty() to libutil.h.
Btw., the calling interface for login(3) is crude. Some better
abstraction is needed, perhaps similar to logwtmp(3).
2.2 candidate, but i'll wait for the spelling police first. :)
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.
the statically compiled PS_STRINGS and USRSTACK variables. This prevents
programs using setproctitle from coredumping if the kernel VM is increased,
and stops libkvm users (w, ps, etc) from needing to be recompiled if only
the VM layout changes.
Install (optional) libutil.h with prototypes for the functions and
document this in the man page.
minor cleanups to the various routines, include the prototype file, declare
return codes etc.
replace the dozen other various hacks in the code that do all sorts
of crude things including spamming the envrionment strings with the new
argv string.
This version is mainly inspired by the sendmail version, with a couple of
ideas taken from the NetBSD implementation as well.
'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.
