* support alternate backends for the passwd and group dbsJosiah Worcester2015-02-231-1/+113
| | | | | | | | when we fail to find the entry in the commonly accepted files, we query a server over a Unix domain socket on /var/run/nscd/socket. the protocol used here is compatible with glibc's nscd protocol on most systems (all that use 32-bit numbers for all the protocol fields, which appears to be everything but Alpha).
* refactor passwd file access codeJosiah Worcester2015-02-101-0/+31
this allows getpwnam and getpwuid to share code with the _r versions in preparation for alternate backend support.
