breaking up slap_init_user() for better chroot functionality

[Daniel Ott <dott@ncchristian.org>]

I attempted a minimal chroot installation of slapd today which failed 
due to the following error:

/etc/pwd.db: No such file or directory

After reading through the source for main.c and user.c and the 
discussions on the devel mailing list about the addition of the chroot 
feature I'm left wondering if slap_init_user() should be rewritten in 
two pieces. The first part of slap_init_user() currently does uid and 
gid lookups in the system databases and the second part drops 
privilege.  If broken up, the first part could then be called before the 
chroot allowing for chroot installs without having to copy /etc/pwd.db 
to ${CHROOTDIR}/etc/pwd.db.

I'm looking at the 2.2.17 tar ball.

Is this sane or am I missing something?
