You are right, it is dead code for now. The reason why it is there is because this file is just a stub rip-off of the Unix implementation. It is just waiting for the day when the NetWare OS supports UID/GID for running applications and services. On the NetWare OS applications and services don't run as a user, they just run. Therefore the underlying APIs like getuid(), getgid() and getpwnam() don't exist on NetWare. Even if they did, they wouldn't return anything useful. So for now, this is just a stub implementation.

Specifically the getpwnam_safe function is statically defined, but never called (and doesn't do anything anyway), and the PWBUF_SIZE define is only used for one of the function arguments in getpwnam_safe. Here's a patch removing the code in question. -garrett
