thing it was still used for was to set the "global default" password
hash. Since the stock auth.conf contained nothing but comments, the
global default was actually the first algorithm in crypt(3)'s list,
which happens to be DES; I take the fact that nobody noticed as proof
that it was not used outside of crypt(3).
The only other use in our tree was in the Kerberos support code in
in tinyware's passwd(1). I removed that code in an earlier commit;
it would not have compiled anyway, as it only supported Kerberos IV.
The auth_getval() function is now a stub that always returns NULL,
which has the same effect as a functional auth_getval() with an
empty auth.conf.

when the child process execs daemon's target program thanks to flock(2)
semantics. So, we apparently have to leak the open pidfile's file
descriptor to keep the lock for the pidfile(3) functions to work properly.
Test case demonstrated by trociny:

8.2-STABLE
ref8-amd64:/home/trociny% daemon -p /tmp/sleep.pid sleep 10

for pidfh in libutil.h in its place.
This allows us to hide the contents of the pidfh structure, and also
allowed removal of the "#ifdef _SYS_PARAM_H" guard from around the
pidfile_* function prototypes.
Suggested by pjd.
The index() and rindex() functions were marked LEGACY in the 2001
revision of POSIX and were subsequently removed from the 2008 revision.
The strchr() and strrchr() functions are part of the C standard.
This makes the source code a lot more consistent, as most of these C
files also call into other str*() routines. In fact, about a dozen
already perform strchr() calls.
- if pw is NULL and oldpw is not NULL then the oldpw is deleted
- if pw->pw_name != oldpw->pw_name but pw->pw_uid == oldpw->pw_uid
then it renames the user
add new gr_* functions so now gr_util API is similar to pw_util API,
this allow to manipulate groups in a safe way.

file and processes information retrieval from the running kernel via sysctl
in the form of new library, libprocstat. The library also supports KVM backend
for analyzing memory crash dumps. Both procstat(1) and fstat(1) utilities have
been modified to take advantage of the library (as the bonus point the fstat(1)
utility no longer need superuser privileges to operate), and the procstat(1)
utility is now able to display information from memory dumps as well.
The newly introduced fuser(1) utility also uses this library and able to operate
via sysctl and kvm backends.
The library is by no means complete (e.g. KVM backend is missing vnode name
resolution routines, and there're no manpages for the library itself) so I
plan to improve it further. I'm commiting it so it will get wider exposure
and review.
We won't be able to MFC this work as it relies on changes in HEAD, which
was introduced some time ago, that break kernel ABI. OTOH we may be able
to merge the library with KVM backend if we really need it there.
