log
@A code cleanup:
  - _BSD_SOURCE was defined. We had already used several non-POSIX features
    like fchown() and setgroups(). The program can't be compiled
    in a strictly POSIX environment.
  - SU_STRICTLY_POSIX condition was removed.
  - Variable 'login' was renamed to 'is_login' in su.c.
  - Some my earlier comment were rewritten.
  - Return value checks were added to an additional calls.
  - The stdin ownership change was allowed only if is_terminal and is_login
    for security reasons.
  - A major restructurization of the code in su.c as it had been done
    by Andrew in sshd.
  - More detailed error reporting was implemented.
  - A few '(void)' were added to calls like fprintf().
  - More correct handling of a child exit in wait_for_child() was implemented.
  - Changes enabling terminal ownership control for 'su - -c ...'
    were undone.
  - Improper call of pwdb_error was fixed.
  - A new documentation file with the description of tty session and ownership
    control was added.
  - Andrew's email address was fixed in several places.
  - Ancient files were moved to 'Historic' directory.
  - Something else what I've forgotten.

This is the README for login.

It differs from all other implementations of login insofar as it uses
the libpwdb API.

This is beta code. It is unsupported. However, comments suggestions
