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.

Previously, the allocation was optimized for an outdated
deployment style (that of /etc/group alongside nss_db). The issue
here is that this results in extremely poor performance when using
SSSD, Winbind or nss_ldap.
There were actually two serious bugs here that have been addressed:
1) Running getgrent() loops won't work in most SSSD or Winbind
environments, as full group enumeration is disabled by default.
This could easily result in auto-allocating a group that was
already in use. (This might result in a security issue as well, if
the shared GID is a privileged group).
2) For system groups, the loop was always iterating through the
complete SYS_GID_MIN->SYS_GID_MAX range. On SSSD and Winbind, this
means hundreds of round-trips to LDAP (unless the GIDs were
specifically configured to be ignored by the SSSD or winbindd).
To a user with a slow connection to their LDAP server, this would
appear as if groupadd -r was hung. (Though it would eventually
complete).
This patch changes the algorithm to be more favorable for LDAP
environments, at the expense of some performance when using nss_db.
Given that the DB is a local service, this should have a negligible
effect from a user's perspective.
With the new algorithm, we simply first iterate through all entries
in the local database with gr_next(), recording the IDs that are in
use. We then start from the highest presumed-available entry and
call getgrgid() to see if it is available. We continue this until
we come to the first unused GID. We then select that and return it.
If we make it through all the remaining IDs without finding a free
one, we start over from the beginning of the range and try to find
room in one of the gaps in the range.
The patch was originally written by Stephen Gallagher and applied
identically also to the user allocation by Tomáš Mráz.

- 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 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.

find_new_sub_gids() is always called with *range_count set to 0.
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.
