[PATCH] putgrent/putpwent and +/- entries

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

putpwent and putgrent should not write a '0' as user/group id if an
entry starting with + or - is written. We have a check in the get*
code to ignore this, but it is better to not write the values and
let the fields empty.

	* grp/putgrent.c (putgrent): Don't write 0 as group
	ID if groupname starts with + or -.
	* pwd/putpwent.c (putpwent): Don't write 0 as user or
	group ID if user name starts with + or -.
