Use an mmap()'d buffer instead of a static buffer for the contents
of the pointer returned by getpw{ent,nam,uid}(). We unmap the
buffer each time to catch callers using a stale passwd struct
pointer. As a special case, we do not unmap the buffer if the
previous lookup was for the same name or uid. This special case
may be removed in the future. OK deraadt@

add missing HISTORY; based on CVS logs and release announcements

Refer to /etc/passwd consistently as the "legacy password file" and
remove some references to differences between versions 6 and 7.

ok jmc, millert, tedu

document the _shadow functions

For getgrent.3:
- delete the commented out setgrfile bits, as well as the MLINK
- rename getgr{nam,gid}_r()'s 'buffer' parameters to 'buf' to be
consistent with getpwnam(3) and practically all other section 3 manpages
- we have sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX) now, so uncomment and revise the text
For getpwnam.3:
- rename buflen to bufsize for consistency
- rewrite the description of the getpw{nam,uid}_r functions to
match the better getgr{nam,gid}_r() description, adding sysconf() bits
Add sysconf(3) to SEE ALSO for both

The fd of the passwd database is marked close-on-exec now

POSIX does not require an explicit inclusion of sys/types.h to get
uid_t or gid_t (and neither do we). OK deraadt@

Add ERRORS and STANDARDS, thanks to brad@ for the reminder.
Fix the description of the RETURN VALUES of get*_r().
Minor polishing while here.
Feedback and ok jmc@, ok millert@ jca@.

obvious .Pa fixes; found with mandocdb(8)

Use the fancy .In macro for includes. From Jan Klemkow. ok jmc schwarze

Split getpw{nam,uid} off into their own man page. Hopefully, this
will help people understand that endpwent() is not normally needed.
