This functionality is useful because there is now a feature
of Linux-PAM's pam_lastlog module to block expired users (users
which did not login recently enough) from login. This commit
complements it so the sysadmin is able to unblock such expired user.

We intend to not create subuids for system users. However we are
checking for command line flags after we check whether -r flag
was set, so it was never found to be true. Fix that.

- Use an allocation of 65536 uids and gids to allow for POSIX-compliant
user owned namespaces.
- Don't allocate a uid/gid map to system users.
Unfortunately checking for --system isn't quite enough as some
distribution wrappers always call useradd without --system and take care
of choosing a uid and gid themselves, so also check whether the
requested uid/gid is in the user range.
This is taken from a patch I wrote for Ubuntu a couple years ago and
which somehow didn't make it upstream.

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.

Currently the error is just:
newuidmap: Target [pid] is owned by a different user
With this patch it will be like:
newuidmap: Target [pid] is owned by a different user: uid:0 pw_uid:0 st_uid:0, gid:0 pw_gid:0 st_gid:99
Why is this useful? Well, in my case...
The grsecurity kernel-hardening patch includes an option to make parts
of /proc unreadable, such as /proc/pid/ dirs for processes not owned by
the current uid. This comes with an option to make /proc/pid/
directories readable by a specific gid; sysadmins and the like are then
put into that group so they can see a full 'ps'.
This means that the check in new[ug]idmap fails, as in the above quoted
error - /proc/[targetpid] is owned by root, but the group is 99 so that
users in group 99 can see the process.
Some Googling finds dozens of people hitting this problem, but not
*knowing* that they have hit this problem, because the errors and
circumstances are non-obvious.
Some graceful way of handling this and not failing, will be next ;) But
in the meantime it'd be nice to have new[ug]idmap emit a more useful
error, so that it's easier to troubleshoot.
Thanks!

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.
Prevent chmod failure message from displaying if the failure
was due to the backup file not existing.
If there is no backup file present and if no changes have been
made, then this error would always appear since the backup
file isn't created in this situation.

Currently shadow fails to build from source and is flagged as
out-of-date. This is due to a usage of PATH_MAX, which is not defined
on GNU/Hurd. The attached patch solves this problem by allocating a
fixed number of 32 bytes for the string proc_dir_name in files
src/procuidmap.c and src/procgidmap.c. (In fact only 18 bytes are
needed)

* src/userdel.c, src/gpasswd.c, src/groupmems.c, src/usermod.c,
src/groupmod.c, src/passwd.c: Use a break even after usage().
src/newusers.c, src/chpasswd.c, src/groupmems.c, src/usermod.c,
src/chgpasswd.c, src/vipw.c, src/su.c, src/useradd.c,
src/groupmod.c, src/passwd.c, src/groupadd.c, src/chage.c,
src/faillog.c, src/chsh.c: If someone uses the -h/--help options,
the usage should not go to stderr nor should the utility exit with
non-zero status. All of the shadow utils do just this
unfortunately, so convert them over to sanity.
* man/groupmems.8.xml, man/gpasswd.1.xml: Added option -h/--help.
* NEWS, src/userdel.c: When USERGROUPS_ENAB is enabled, remove the
user's group when the user was the only member. This is still not
complete, as the user could have been specified twice in the
members.
* NEWS, src/userdel.c: Do not fail when -r is used and the home
directory does not exist.
lib/prototypes.h: Move user_busy() to libmisc/user_busy.c.
* NEWS, libmisc/user_busy.c: On Linux, do not check if an user is
logged in with utmp, but check if the user is running some
processes. If not on Linux, continue to search for an utmp record,
but make sure the process recorded in the utmp entry is still
running.
with a NULL argument.
* src/useradd.c: Replace PATH_MAX by a fixed constant. The buffer
was not meant as a storage for a path.
* src/useradd.c, src/newusers.c, src/chpasswd.c: Better detection
of fgets errors. Lines shall end with a \n, unless we reached the
end of file.
* libmisc/copydir.c: Avoid PATH_MAX. Support file paths with any
length. Added readlink_malloc().
and the password field in passwd is not 'x'.
* src/grpck.c: Warn if a group has an entry in group and gshadow,
and the password field in group is not 'x'.
changing the passwords with PAM.
* src/newusers.c: Split the usage string in smaller parts to
allow enabling single parts.
* man/newusers.8.xml: Indicate the options and configuration
variables valid for PAM and non-PAM versions.
* man/newusers.8.xml: Added pointer to /etc/pam.d/chpasswd.
