Alejandro Colomar 5da8388fc6 ttytype(): Fix race
The intention of the code is just to not report an error message when
'typefile' doesn't exist.  If we call access(2) and then fopen(2),
there's a race.  It's not a huge problem, and the worst thing that can
happen is reporting an error when the file has been removed after
access(2).  It's not a problem, but we can fix the race and at the same
time clarify the intention of not warning about ENOENT and also remove
one syscall.  Seems like a win-win.

shadow-utils

Introduction

The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
