Nuke a couple of useless lines of code from the /etc/netid parsing
section. (Cut & paste-o.)

Include <sys/types.h> before including <grp.h> so that this doesn't
depend on <stdio.h> bogusly including <sys/types.h>

Reordered includes to satisfy KNF rules.

Import new mknetid program. This replaces the crufty, soon to be defunct
mknetid script packaged with ypserv.

This program parses the group, passwd, hosts and netid databases into
the netid.byname map. Duplicate checking is performed using hash tables.
Testing on my 486DX2/66 with FreeBSD 2.1.0 showed that this program can
process a 30,000-entry passwd database into a netid map (along with
assorted group and hosts information) in about 22 seconds. On my SPARC IPX
with SunOS 4.1.3, it takes about 15 seconds. This compares favorably with
the SunOS mknetid program, which parses the same database(s) in 13 seconds.
(With smaller databases, my program is actually slightly faster. Go
figure.)
