This intrigued me. cppcheck is a static analyser, so what's it doing 
with getpwent()? I had a nosy in the source code, and it appears that 
cppcheck has a rule checking for POSIX calls that are not re-entrant. If 
a call to getpwent() is found in your source code, cppcheck will 
recommend that you replace this with getpwent_r().

As far as I can tell, cppcheck doesn't actually call getpwent() at all; 
this is a false positive turned up by strings(1).

Dave.
