This reverts the behavior of "useradd --root" to using the settings
from login.defs in the target root directory, not the root of the
executed useradd command.
The useradd application resets the user data in /var/log/faillog, if it
exists and a new user is created.
pam_tally2 is used in many distributions.
Check for /var/log/tallylog and reset the user there.

These assignments were pasted as is into the Makefile and
ended up as part of a rule. (Usually the .PRECIOUS rule
which is why the build system never attempted to execute it
as commands, hiding the problem.)

Some of the supplied tools use functions which are not signal-safe.
Most of the times it's exit() vs. _exit().
In other times it's how the standard output or standard error is
handled. FILE-related functions shall be avoided, therefore I replaced
them with write().
Also there is no need to call closelog(). At worst, it allows to
trigger a deadlock by issuing different signal types at bad timings.
But as these fixes are about race conditions, expect bad timings in
general for these bugs to be triggered. :)
Catch up with Automake's [1], which was part of v1.6b, cut 2002-07-28
[2]. Avoids:
$ autoreconf -v -f --install
...
libmisc/Makefile.am:4: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
...
src/Makefile.am:10: warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
...
Consolidating with the earlier AM_CPPFLAGS avoids:
$ autoreconf -v -f --install
src/Makefile.am:72: warning: AM_CPPFLAGS multiply defined in condition TRUE ...
src/Makefile.am:10: ... 'AM_CPPFLAGS' previously defined here

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.

This is helpful when using configuration management tools such as
Puppet, where you are managing the groups in a central location and you
don't need this safeguard.

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/su.c: Terminate the child (if needed) before closing the PAM
session. This is probably more correct, and avoid reporting
termination from signals possibly sent by PAM modules (e.g. former
versions of pam_systemd). Debian#670132
* src/su.c: When a SIGTSTP is caught, reset caught to 0. There is
no need to kill the child in such case after su is resumed. This
remove the "Session terminated, terminating shell...
...terminated." messages in such case.
