When compiled with PAM certain settings are not used, however they are
still defined in the stock login.defs file. Thus every command reports
them as "unknown setting contact administrator".
Alternative would be to parse stock login.defs and comment out/remove
settings that are not applied, when compiled with PAM.
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.

When referring to USERGROUPS_ENAB, the German mentions /etc/default/useradd
when it should be /etc/login.defs (like the original English does).

Change suggested by Nicolas François as performance optimization.
Performance penalty would be really noticeable when usernames are
stored in remote databases (ldap).

Until now only exact username specification in /etc/sub[ug]id file allowed the
mapping. This prevented normal use for those users who use multiple usernames
with the same UID, as it rejected mapping even though it was allowed for
another username with the same UID.
This patch initially retains the old behaviour, for performance's sake. In the
first pass, new[ug]idmap only searches for exact username match.
If that yields no valid results, it continues into another loop, which does UID
resolution and comparison. If either definition (numeric UID mapping
specification or mapping specification for another username with the same UID as
current username) is found, it is used.

We're losing the svn history (which we could probably keep if we tried
hard enough) but don't consider that worthwhile.
Note these tests are destructive, so run them only in a throwaway
environment like a chroot, container, or vm.
The tests/run.all script should be the one which launches all the tests.

This built-in check is simpler than the previous method and, most
importantly, works when cross-compiling.

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out-of-date.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)

Users may otherwise be confused and think that because the kernel
does not restrict uid mappings to the root user (within his
current uid mappings), newuidmap will ignore /etc/subuid for the
root user. It will not.

The number of ranges should be the ceiling of the number of arguments divided
by three.
Without this fix newuidmap and newgidmap always report and error and fail,
which is very much not what we want.

It's more difficult to keep the subordinate GIDs and UIDs
synchronized, than for the user's UID/GId because the count of
subordinate IDs may differ.
