Make this work on fc13.

- commiting Martin Siegert's updates to work on systems that don't create user groups by default

- removing silly constant, switch to use wwwid

best wishes to all.

Bug 701 Fixed various little diddly stuff that prevented a new filesystem authenticated user from getting an initial passwd.

Bug 701 - added additional $noprint conditionalized deubgging.
    In lcpasswd, removed code too put a dummy entry at the end of
    /etc/smbpasswd (it's not the right file anyway), and added the -a
   switch to the smbpasswd command invocation.

Documentation update.  Later the code ensures $password1 eq $password2....

Fixed silly bug in checking for invalid password characters.

map to foreach

important fixes, documentation addition

updated and ready to use

scripts are almost all working. lcuserdel still has some problems, and lcuseradd
doesn't get the permissions quite right yet.

I'm updating the error code listings in the comments.

more error catching and commenting.  lcuseradd should be complete, but
I've yet to test the script or give a careful look-through. -Scott

trying to add error-checking to make sure invalid characters are not in the
user name or passwords.  lcuseradd appears to be basically working, but I
still need to implement the addition of passwords.  I cannot do this with
a system call to lcpasswd due to the restrictions of perl setuid scripts.L

fixing up exit code documentation for lcpasswd and lcuserdel.  lcuseradd
useradd system call syntax still incorrect here.  I'm putting in more
of the setuid handling code. -Scott

lcpasswd should be in a workable mode now.  I replaced some "'s with ' characters
to make code more efficient (avoid interpolation).  the outline of lcuserdel is in place
now. -Scott

changing around the initiation of process locking (no longer locking
for just smbpasswd), adding comments, beginning to further implement lcuserdel.
still trying to capture error condition of unsuccessfully opening /etc/passwd
-Scott

allow for command-line arguments in order to enable use
within other scripts (so they can read exit status);
disable error message printing when command-line arguments
are given

minor rearrangement of comments

it works.  implements locking (so that two lcpasswd processes do not muck
things up at the same time).  supposed to work under chmod 6755 (setuid
script).  only runs when the initial (real) uid corresponds to www.  I
do not interface with the unix 'passwd' script, but just do the crypt
calculations separately.  I minimalize environment variables to improve
security.  I do not use smbadduser; I just create a blank but unworking entry
(do not use smbpasswd -a either due to crazy side effect).  I have
to fake the smbpasswd into working in a non setuid mode.  Also, I have
to \w+ grab off of the username in order to "fool" perl into thinking
the username is a safe value to pass to the shell (which after the \w+
grab, indeed is). -Scott

I'm trying to make the setuid synchronizing password for loncapa here. -Scott
