Hello All!

This series is an attempt to ad the possibility to use actual usernames
and group names in the _PERMISSIONS and _DEVICES tables, and not be
limitted to only numerical UIDs and GIDs.

The 4th and last patch in the series should *not* be applied, it is only
provided as a simple test-bed to check this series.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
