This commit adds a from= field to the end of the useradd log entry.
Casting user_name to tallylog_reset to silence a compiler warning.

This option can be used to set a separate mode for useradd(8) and
newusers(8) to create the home directories with.
If this option is not set, the current behavior of using UMASK
or the default umask is preserved.
There are many distributions that set UMASK to 077 by default just
to create home directories not readable by others and use things like
/etc/profile, bashrc or sudo configuration files to set a less
restrictive
umask. This has always resulted in bug reports because it is hard
to follow as users tend to change files like bashrc and are not about
setting the umask to counteract the umask set in /etc/login.defs.
A recent change in sudo has also resulted in many bug reports about
this. sudo now tries to respect the umask set by pam modules and on
systems where pam does not set a umask, the login.defs UMASK value is
used.
If SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND is set, it will be added to the syslog entry.
Closes#123.
Changelog: (SEH squashed commit): Fixing indentation
Changelog: (SEH) break up long line
`make` runs each line in a shell and bails out on error,
however, the shell is not started with `-e`, so commands in
`for` loops can fail without the error actually causing
`make` to bail out with a failure status.
For instance, the following make snippet will end
successfully, printing 'SUCCESS', despite the first `chmod`
failing:
all:
touch a b
for i in a-missing-file a b; do \
chmod 666 $$i; \
done
@echo SUCCESS
To prevent wrong paths in install scripts from remaining
unnoticed, let's activate `set -e` in the `for` loop
subshells.

Suggesting mode 2770 is dangerous because it makes the binary writeable
by all members of the owning group which is supposed to be normal
end-users. Suggest 2710 instead as is usual for s[ug]id binaries,
allowing execution but neither reading nor writing.

Here's a sad story:
* 70971457 is merged into shadow, allowing newgidmap/newuidmap to be
installed with file caps rather than setuid.
* https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63248 is filed to take advantage of
this.
* The arch maintainer of the 'shadow' package notices that this doesn't
work, and submits a pull request to fix this in shadow.
* edf7547ad5 is merged, fixing the post install hooks.
The problem here is that distros have been building shadow with PAM for
O(years), but the install hooks have silently failed due to the
combination of the directory mismatch (suidubins vs suidsbins) and later
success with setuid'ing newgidmap/newuidmap.
With the install hooks fixed, those of us (Arch[1] and Gentoo[2] so far)
who never built shadow explicitly with --enable-account-tools-setuid are
now getting setuid account tools, and don't have PAM configuration
suitable for use with setuid account management tools.
It's entirely unclear to me why you'd want this, but I assume there's
some reason out there for it existing. Regardless, setuid binaries are
dangerous and shouldn't be enabled by default without good reason.

Some distros still care about `/bin` vs `/usr/bin`. This commit makes
it so all binaries are always installed to `/bin`/`/sbin`. The only way to
restore the previous behaviour of installing some binaries to
`/usr/bin`/`/usr/sbin` is to revert the patch.
Synchronize how passwd(5) and shadow(5) describe the password field.
Reorder the descriptions more logically.

Closes#185
If vipw is suspended (e.g. via control-Z) and then resumed, it often gets
immediately suspended. This is easier to reproduce on a multi-core system.
root@buster:~# /usr/sbin/vipw
[1]+ Stopped /usr/sbin/vipw
root@buster:~# fg
/usr/sbin/vipw
[1]+ Stopped /usr/sbin/vipw
root@buster:~# fg
[vipw resumes on the second fg]
The problem is that vipw forks a child process and calls waitpid() with the
WUNTRACED flag. When the child process (running the editor) is suspended, the
parent sends itself SIGSTOP to suspend the main vipw process. However, because
the main vipw is in the same process group as the editor which received the ^Z,
the kernel already sent the main vipw SIGTSTP.
If the main vipw receives SIGTSTP before the child, it will be suspended and
then, once resumed, will proceed to suspend itself again.
To fix this, run the child process in its own process group as the foreground
process group. That way, control-Z will only affect the child process and the
parent can use the existing logic to suspend the parent.
Using hard-coded access vector ids is deprecated and can lead to issues with custom SELinux policies.
Switch to `selinux_check_access()`.
Also use the libselinux log callback and log if available to audit.
This makes it easier for users to catch SELinux denials.
Drop legacy shortcut logic for passwd, which avoided a SELinux check if uid 0 changes a password of a user which username equals the current SELinux user identifier.
Nowadays usernames rarely match SELinux user identifiers and the benefit of skipping a SELinux check is negligible.
