Subject: [PATCH v2] fix nscd querying when the daemon is disabled for some query types
for example, glibc's nscd, configured with `enable-cache passwd no`,
will still answer passwd queries, but with a message that simply
indicates it's disabled passwd querying. this is done by setting the
passwdbuf[PWFOUND] field to -1, which we used to evaluate as "true" for
the entry having been found, and then errored out when the rest of the
query response had the length fields set to 0 instead of 1 (which is
what we expect from empty fields, since they should contain an empty
string). this is the case for group and initgroups queries as well.
from our point of view, buf[xxFOUND] being -1 can be treated the same as
if it was 0: a -1 response is equivalent to no nscd daemon running at
all, and we treat daemon unavailability the same as the daemon not
knowing about our query. to simplify the code, we discard any answers
with negative buf[xxFOUND].
