The --gid option accepts a group name or id. When a name is provided, it
is resolved to an id by looking up the name in the group database
(/etc/group).
The --prefix option overides the location of the passwd and group
databases. I suspect the --gid option was overlooked when wiring up the
--prefix option.
useradd --gid already respects --prefix; this change makes usermod
behave the same way.

Use of these macros, apart from the benefits mentioned in the commit
that adds the macros, has some other good side effects:
- Consistency in getting the size of the object from sizeof(type),
instead of a mix of sizeof(type) sometimes and sizeof(*p) other
times.
- More readable code: no casts, and no sizeof(), so also shorter lines
that we don't need to cut.
- Consistency in using array allocation calls for allocations of arrays
of objects, even when the object size is 1.

- Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.
- Every pointer converts automatically to void *.
- void * converts to any other pointer.
- const void * converts to any other const pointer.
- Integer variables convert to each other.
I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).

In variadic functions we still do the cast. In POSIX, it's not
necessary, since NULL is required to be of type 'void *', and 'void *'
is guaranteed to have the same alignment and representation as 'char *'.
However, since ISO C still doesn't mandate that, and moreover they're
doing dubious stuff by adding nullptr, let's be on the cautious side.
Also, C++ requires that NULL is _not_ 'void *', but either plain 0 or
some magic stuff.

PARAMETERS:
According to the C2x charter, I reordered the parameters 'size'
and 'buf' from previously existing date_to_str() definitions.
C2x charter:
> 15. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) should be
> self-documenting when possible. In particular, the order of
> parameters in function declarations should be arranged such that
> the size of an array appears before the array. The purpose is to

> should take this into consideration.
I used 'long' for the date parameter, as some uses of the function
need to pass a negative value meaning "never".
FUNCTION BODY:
I didn't check '#ifdef HAVE_STRFTIME', which old definitions did,
since strftime(3) is guaranteed by the C89 standard, and all of
the conversion specifiers that we use are also specified by that
standard, so we don't need any extensions at all.

That special case is already handled by the called function: strtoday()
so we can simplify the calling code.

The only way of removing a group from the supplementary list is to use
-G option, and list all groups that the user is a member of except for
the one that wants to be removed. The problem lies when there's a user
that contains both local and remote groups, and the group to be removed
is a local one. As we need to include the remote group with -G option
the command will fail.
This reverts commit 140510de9d. This way,
it would be possible to remove the remote groups from the supplementary
list.

Add a new subid_init() function which can be used to specify the
stream on which error messages should be printed. (If you want to
get fancy you can redirect that to memory :) If subid_init() is
not called, use stderr. If NULL is passed, then /dev/null will
be used.
This patch also fixes up the 'Prog', which previously had to be
defined by any program linking against libsubid. Now, by default
in libsubid it will show (subid). Once subid_init() is called,
it will use the first variable passed to subid_init().

new switch added to useradd command, --btrfs-subvolume-home. When
specified *and* the filesystem is detected as btrfs, it will create a
subvolume for user's home instead of a plain directory. This is done via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Specifying the new switch while trying to
create home on non-btrfs will result in an error.
userdel -r will handle and remove this subvolume transparently via
`btrfs subvolume` command. Previosuly this failed as you can't rmdir a
subvolume.
usermod, when moving user's home across devices, will detect if the home
is a subvolume and issue an error messages instead of copying it. Moving
user's home (as subvolume) on same btrfs works transparently.
In case the home directory is not a real home directory
(owned by the user) but things like / or /var or similar,
it is unsafe to change ownership of home directory content.
The test checks whether the home directory is owned by the
user him/herself, if not no ownership modification of contents
is performed.
As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and
authentication service, which also provide user login tracking,
there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local
machine.
fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
Some distributions, notably Fedora, have the following order of nsswitch
modules by default:
passwd: sss files
group: sss files
The advantage of serving local users through SSSD is that the nss_sss
module has a fast mmapped-cache that speeds up NSS lookups compared to
accessing the disk an opening the files on each NSS request.
Traditionally, this has been done with the help of nscd, but using nscd
in parallel with sssd is cumbersome, as both SSSD and nscd use their own
independent caching, so using nscd in setups where sssd is also serving
users from some remote domain (LDAP, AD, ...) can result in a bit of
unpredictability.
More details about why Fedora chose to use sss before files can be found
on e.g.:
https://fedoraproject.org//wiki/Changes/SSSDCacheForLocalUsers
or:
https://docs.pagure.org/SSSD.sssd/design_pages/files_provider.html
Now, even though sssd watches the passwd and group files with the help
of inotify, there can still be a small window where someone requests a
user or a group, finds that it doesn't exist, adds the entry and checks
again. Without some support in shadow-utils that would explicitly drop
the sssd caches, the inotify watch can fire a little late, so a
combination of commands like this:
getent passwd user || useradd user; getent passwd user
can result in the second getent passwd not finding the newly added user
as the racy behaviour might still return the cached negative hit from
the first getent passwd.
This patch more or less copies the already existing support that
shadow-utils had for dropping nscd caches, except using the "sss_cache"
tool that sssd ships.
The third field in the /etc/shadow file (sp_lstchg) contains the date of
the last password change expressed as the number of days since Jan 1, 1970.
As this is a relative time, creating a user today will result in:
username:17238:0:99999:7:::
whilst creating the same user tomorrow will result in:
username:17239:0:99999:7:::
This has an impact for the Reproducible Builds[0] project where we aim to
be independent of as many elements the build environment as possible,
including the current date.
This patch changes the behaviour to use the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1]
environment variable (instead of Jan 1, 1970) if valid.

The current implementation of subuid/subgid support in usermod requires the
user to be a local user present in /etc/passwd. There doesn't seem to be a
good reason for this; subuids should work equally well for users whose
records are in other NSS databases.

passwd, shadow, group, gshadow etc. can be managed via nss -
e.g. system default accounts can be specified using nss_altfiles,
rather than in /etc/. Thus despite having default accounts, these
files can be missing on disk and thus should be opened with O_CREATE
whenever they are attempted to be opened in O_RDWR modes.
