While the return code is broken, some corner case usage depends on the
functionnality, so backout until we get better regression tests covering those
corner case usage.
the intent of -q in this command is to return as exit status the value of the
next group/user id, which does not make sense given exit status are limited to
values between 0 and 255.
Some of errors were returned to the main function, some others caused a direct
exit via err(3).
The main function is only interested in EXIT_SUCCESS, so in all other cases
replace warn(3) + return err by err(3)
uid and gid are never and should never be negative. The pw(8) manpage clearly
states the -u and -g arguments are for uids/gids, hence using negative values is
abusing a bug in former versions of pw(8)
Check that the -g argument is actually a number, if not report an error.
This argument is converted without checking with atoi(3) later so without this
check it converts any alpha entries into 0 meaning it deletes the group wheel
Add a regression test about it

from a group without the need to perform the same operation by replacing
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.

instead of a boolean. This replicated through he front-end sub-functions
relating to add, delete, modify entries in passwd & group files
Errno is now preserved so output of errc()/warnc() will be less obfuscated
by subsequent errors when reporting the problem.
Add more intelligent error handling when attempting to modify/delete NIS
entries with no corresponding local database entry.
[MFC to stable in a couple of weeks to keep both in sync]
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
will handle lines of any length in /etc/group.
2) Fixed bug with usermod -d not updating user's home
directory.
3) Minor formatting display changes/fixes with *show -P.
sysinstall's new User&group menu will use it, hence it's a 2.2
candidate despite of providing new functionality.
