2015-03-15	simplify nscd lookup code for alt passwd/group backends	Rich Felker	-1/+0
	previously, a sentinel value of (FILE *)-1 was used to inform the caller of __nscd_query that nscd is not in use. aside from being an ugly hack, this resulted in duplicate code paths for two logically equivalent cases: no nscd, and "not found" result from nscd. now, __nscd_query simply skips closing the socket and returns a valid FILE pointer when nscd is not in use, and produces a fake "not found" response header. the caller is then responsible for closing the socket just like it would do if it had gotten a real "not found" response.
2015-02-23	support alternate backends for the passwd and group dbs	Josiah Worcester	-1/+139
	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).
2015-02-13	refactor group file access code	Josiah Worcester	-0/+32
	this allows getgrnam and getgrgid to share code with the _r versions in preparation for alternate backend support.
