b5aba2624b Fix E_NAME_IN_USE documentation.
Since code gives this error if username or group name is already
used the documentation should reflect that.

7e2b522a15 Added a new configurable LOG_INIT to useradd
In some circumstances I want the default behaviour of useradd to
not add user entries to the lastlog and faillog databases. Allowing
this options behaviour to be controlled by the config file
/etc/default/useradd.

add new HOME_MODE login.defs(5) option
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.

4633164857 login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
As the large uids are usually provided by remote user identity and
authentication service, which also provide user login tracking,
there is no need to create a huge sparse file for them on every local
machine.

fixup! login.defs: Add LASTLOG_UID_MAX variable to limit lastlog to small uids.
