- Since strncpy(3) is not designed to write strings, but rather
(null-padded) character sequences (a.k.a. unterminated strings), we
had to manually append a '\0'. strlcpy(3) creates strings, so they
are always terminated. This removes dependencies between lines, and
also removes chances of accidents.
- Repurposing strncpy(3) to create strings requires calculating the
location of the terminating null byte, which involves a '-1'
calculation. This is a source of off-by-one bugs. The new code has
no '-1' calculations, so there's almost-zero chance of these bugs.
- strlcpy(3) doesn't padd with null bytes. Padding is relevant when
writing fixed-width buffers to binary files, when interfacing certain
APIs (I believe utmpx requires null padding at lease in some
systems), or when sending them to other processes or through the
network. This is not the case, so padding is effectively ignored.
- strlcpy(3) requires that the input string is really a string;
otherwise it crashes (SIGSEGV). Let's check if the input strings are
really strings:
- lib/fields.c:
- 'cp' was assigned from 'newft', and 'newft' comes from fgets(3).
- lib/gshadow.c:
- strlen(string) is calculated a few lines above.
- libmisc/console.c:
- 'cons' comes from getdef_str, which is a bit cryptic, but seems
to generate strings, I guess.1
- libmisc/date_to_str.c:
- It receives a string literal. :)
- libmisc/utmp.c:
- 'tname' comes from ttyname(3), which returns a string.
- src/su.c:
- 'tmp_name' has been passed to strcmp(3) a few lines above.

On Linux, utmpx and utmp are identical. However, documentation (manual
pages) covers utmp, and just says about utmpx that it's identical to
utmp. It seems that it's preferred to use utmp, at least by reading the
manual pages.
Moreover, we were defaulting to utmp (utmpx had to be explicitly enabled
at configuration time). So, it seems safer to just make it permanent,
which should not affect default builds.

glibc, musl, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD define the MAX() and MIN()
macros in <sys/param.h> with the same definition that we use.
Let's not redefine it here and use the system one, as it's
effectively the same as we define (modulo whitespace).
See:
shadow (previously):
alx@asus5775:~/src/shadow/shadow$ grepc -ktm MAX
./lib/defines.h:318:#define MAX(x,y) (((x) > (y)) ? (x) : (y))
glibc:
alx@asus5775:~/src/gnu/glibc$ grepc -ktm -x 'sys/param.h$' MAX
./misc/sys/param.h:103:#define MAX(a,b) (((a)>(b))?(a):(b))
musl:
alx@asus5775:~/src/musl/musl$ grepc -ktm -x 'sys/param.h$' MAX
./include/sys/param.h:19:#define MAX(a,b) (((a)>(b))?(a):(b))
OpenBSD:
alx@asus5775:~/src/bsd/openbsd/src$ grepc -ktm -x 'sys/param.h$' MAX
./sys/sys/param.h:193:#define MAX(a,b) (((a)>(b))?(a):(b))
FreeBSD:
alx@asus5775:~/src/bsd/freebsd/freebsd-src$ grepc -ktm -x 'sys/param.h$' MAX
./sys/sys/param.h:333:#define MAX(a,b) (((a)>(b))?(a):(b))

This allows shadow-utils to build on systems like Adélie, which have no
<utmp.h> header or `struct utmp`. We use a <utmpx.h>-based daemon,
utmps[1], which uses `struct utmpx` only.
Tested both `login` and `logoutd` with utmps and both work correctly.

of global utent/utxent variables. Only reuse the ut_id and maybe
the ut_host fields from utmp.
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/utmp.c: Removed checkutmp(),
setutmp(), setutmpx().
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/utmp.c: Added get_current_utmp(),
prepare_utmp(), prepare_utmpx(), setutmp(), setutmpx().
* libmisc/utmp.c (is_my_tty): Only compare the name of the utmp

* configure.in: Check for getaddrinfo().
* configure.in: Use AC_CHECK_MEMBERS to check for the existence of
fields in the utmp/utmpx structures.
* configure.in: Reject systems with utmpx support but no ut_id
field in utmp. This could be fixed later if needed.

the failtmp() handling.

shadow_free() renamed to spw_free()
utmp.c to chowntty.c. checkutmp() now only uses an existing utmp
entry if the pid matches and ut_line matches with the current tty.
This fixes a possible DOS when entries can be forged in the utmp

* libmisc/utmp.c: Avoid assignments in comparisons.
* lib/prototypes.h, libmisc/utmp.c: Change setutmp()'s prototype
to return an int because pututline() and pututxline() may fail.
