- Copy stable/10 (r259064) to releng/10.0 as part of the

- Update __FreeBSD_version [1]
- Set branch name to -RC1

[1] 10.0-CURRENT __FreeBSD_version value ended at '55', so
start releng/10.0 at '100' so the branch is started with
a value ending in zero.

Do not let pw.conf(5) or -M option affect creation of basehome, e.g., /home.
When the basehome does not exist, it creates all intermediate directories as
required, which is logically equivalent to mkdir(1) with -m and -p options.
However, it modifies all intermediate directories, not just the final home
directory unlike mkdir. This problem was introduced in two revisions, i.e.,
r1.59 (SVN r167919) and r1.60 (SVN r168044).

invariably fail with EINVAL because it does its own check to assert
that the parameter isn't -1.

Add new functionality "lock" and "unlock" to provide a simple password
locking mechanism for users. This works by prepending the string
"*LOCKED*" to the password field in master.passwd to prevent successful
decoding.


52511 26-Oct-1999 davidn

Missed statement in password update relating to the previous change
to fileupdate() which prevented pwd_mkdb(1) from being run.


52502 26-Oct-1999 davidn

Clean up error handling in fileupdate(), which now returns 0 on success
instead of a boolean. This replicated through he front-end sub-functions
relating to add, delete, modify entries in passwd & group files
Errno is now preserved so output of errc()/warnc() will be less obfuscated
by subsequent errors when reporting the problem.

Add more intelligent error handling when attempting to modify/delete NIS
entries with no corresponding local database entry.

[MFC to stable in a couple of weeks to keep both in sync]

Only do a full pwd_mkdb for deletions; other operations may use the -u
option as an optimization.

-Clarification of last commit-
The char that the random letters and numbers are being pulled from is
ended with a '\0'. Using sizeof() includes this '\0' in the 'pool' of
possible characters. This patch decrements by one the size so we don't
accidently end the new password prematurly.


42245 02-Jan-1999 billf

Let's make sure we're at the end of the password string before we apply a \0
and terminate it. This patch ensures passwords will be the correct length of 8,
which is what is implied in the source (but not reflected in the man page).

- On second thought, attempt to get the read-only lock, but don't
consider it a exit failure if it doesn't work. This means that root
processes can safely get the lock, but normal processes can still use
the 'pw' utility to get information (which may change out from under
them.)


38110 04-Aug-1998 nate

- Removed read-only lock from 'pw'. This removes portions of the FIX
from PR/6787, but allow non-root users to use pw to get password
information. However, this should be safe since the fixes for
disallowing multiple instances from modifying the DB are still intact.

Bug noted by: dima@best.net (Dima Ruban)


37711 16-Jul-1998 nate

Fix race condition in pw caused by multiple instances of pwd_mkdb being
run at the same time.

Notes:
The fileupdate function is still somewhat broken. Instead of
returning a failure code if it can't modify the original file it
renames the .new file and continues as though nothing is wrong.
This will cause the lock on the original file to be lost and could
lead to a similar race condition. I left that portion of the code
alone since I feel that the maintainer of the code would have a
better concept of how he wants to handle errors in that function
than I do.
