new groups should be created. This is similar to useradd's -r flag.
Closes my own PR bin/22791. Patch by URA Hiroshi with some minor changes
by me.
No objections in tech-userlevel@ for multiple days.
Revert fgetln/asprintf changes from rev 1.26 - fgetln(3) does not return
a NUL-terminated string, so using strchr(3) is inappropriate. As the entry
from the password file is a known size, there's no need to use fgetln(3),
just use fgets(3) for consistency. This also means that an inappropriate
cast to int from asprintf(3) is unneeded, which was apparently causing
problems on OpenBSD's sparc64 port - just be consistent and use snprintf(3).
1. Use REG_NEWLINE, rather than matching "\n".
2. Fix a bug where rm_user_from_groups would mangle group entries in
/etc/group when the user to be removed is the only member of the group,
by using substring matches.
char as a parameter. On platforms with char signed by default, those are wrong.
Thanks to Christian Biere christianbiere@gmx.de for the patch he supplied.
I tested the patch and agc approved it for commit.
"*************" rather than a single asterisk - it's just as difficult
to hash to the longer password since the asterisk character itself is
not in its alphabet, and pwd_mkdb now thinks it's a valid DES password.
can be a variable length field, so check the (fixed length) password
length, rather then the length of the whole password+salt+cipher.
Use a cipher type of "$2a" for blowfish.
password types, and their associated lengths, and check in useradd or
usermod whether the given encrypted password has the correct length.
This removes the (duplicated) hardcoded lengths which had crept in
with the last commit, and also checks the length of the given password
against the expected length.
and modification of user and group information.
Syslog priority is LOG_INFO, facility is LOG_USER (there is no need to
do this via LOG_AUTH, since the password and group files are world
readable).

Completes fix of PR 17849, from Grant Beattie (grant@netbsd.org).
Also, don't cast return type of pw_abort(3) to void, as it already is void.

Remove BUGS section from userdel(8) accordingly.
Make this utility compile with WARNS=3 - add const-poisoning and
