I changed login_tty() to only work when the application is not a session
leader yet. This works fine for applications in the base system, but it
turns out various applications call this function after daemonizing,
which means they already use their own session.
If setsid() fails, just call tcsetsid() on the current session.
tcsetsid() will already perform proper security checks.

These functions only apply to utmp(5). They cannot be kept intact when
moving towards utmpx. The login(3) function would break, because its
argument is an utmp structure. The logout(3) and logwtmp(3) functions
cannot be used, since they provide a functionality which partially
overlaps.
Increment SHLIB_MAJOR to 9 to indicate the removal.
Similar to libexec/, do the same with lib/. Make WARNS=6 the norm and
lower it when needed.
I'm setting WARNS?=0 for secure/. It seems secure/ includes the
Makefile.inc provided by lib/. I'm not going to touch that directory.
Most of the code there is contributed anyway.
There are several reasons why it didn't work:
- It was missing <sys/cdefs.h> for __BEGIN_DECLS.
- It uses various primitive types that were not declared.

The problem with fcntl(2) locks is that they are not inherited by child
processes. This breaks pidfile(3), where the common idiom is to open
and lock the PID file before daemonizing.
The entire world seems to use the non-standard TIOCSCTTY ioctl to make a
TTY a controlling terminal of a session. Even though tcsetsid(3) is also
non-standard, I think it's a lot better to use in our own source code,
mainly because it's similar to tcsetpgrp(), tcgetpgrp() and tcgetsid().
I stole the idea from QNX. They do it the other way around; their
TIOCSCTTY is just a wrapper around tcsetsid(). tcsetsid() then calls
into an IPC framework.

Fixed alignment issue in gr_dup() in its assignment of gr_mem using a
struct to force alignment without performing alignment mathematics. This
was noticed recently with libutil was built with WARNS=6 on platform such
as sparc64.
Added checks to gr_dup(), gr_equal() and gr_make() to prevent segfaults
when examining struct group's with the struct members pointing to NULL's.
With fix of alignment issue, restore WARNS?=6.

struct sockaddr * that it casts internally to the appropriate type based on
sa_family. However, struct sockaddr has very lax alignment requirements,
which causes the compiler to complain when you cast a struct sockaddr * to,
say, a struct sockaddr_in6 *.
I find it reasonable to assume that the pointer we received is in fact
correctly aligned. Therefore, we can work around the compiler warnings by
casting to void * before casting to the desired type. For readability's
sake, this is done with macros.
The same technique should prove useful in other parts of the tree that
deal with socket addresses.

As discussed on the commits list, there is no need to call revoke()
inside openpty(). On RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 unlockpt() will call
revoke(). On HEAD we create pseudo-terminals on demand, so there is no
need to revoke the slave device node.
This change should never be MFC'd, because the implementation we have in
RELENG_6 and RELENG_7 should work flawlessly with older versions of
libc.
