Re: Internal get{pw,gr}XX calls


Corinna,

The attached patch includes the changes to grab_int and parse_grp.
I like your initial idea (a little simplified) better because it 
leaves uid = -1 as a usable value. That may prove useful one day 
(I have some ideas). It also makes parse_pwd somewhat simpler.

strtoul replaces strtol. I have verified that both strtoul("-2",..)
and strtoul("4294967294",..) return 0xFFFFFFFE.

I have kept updating the state to loaded in read_etc_{passwd,group}.

This patch replaces what I sent on Friday. It is incremental over
the earlier big patch involving 9 files.
