I am not planning on providing a mechanism tot stat() the database files
directly. The disadvantage of this, is that rwhod will now be a little
bit more heavy than it used to be. It normally used to fstat() the file
descriptor to see whether the file had changed, but this is now
impossible to implement, meaning we have to parse the entire utmp file
each 180 seconds.
This is probably not an issue on modern 16-way servers, but if it turns
out to be a problem, we'll think of something.
time_to_xxx() and xxx_to_time() functions. e.g. _time_to_xxx()
instead of time_to_xxx(), to make it more obvious that these are
stopgap functions & placemarkers and not meant to create a defacto
standard. They will eventually be replaced when a real standard
comes out of committee.
header before trying to process them. Without this sanity check,
rwhod can attempt to byte-swap all of memory when a short packet
is received, and so dies with a SIGBUS.
While I'm here, change two other syslog messages to be more
informative: use dotted quad rather than hex notation for IP
addresses, and include the source IP in the 'bad from port' message.

Also clear out the groups vector so that it doesn't inherit the groups
