The manpage explicitly states that:

    The  getpwent()  function  returns a pointer to a passwd
structure, or
    NULL if there are no more entries or an error occurred.  If an
error
    occurs, errno is set appropriately.  If one wants to check errno
after
    the call, it should be set to zero before the call.

Without this, genhomedircon can wrongly return the following:
    libsemanage.get_home_dirs: Error while fetching
users.  Returning list so far.

Actually I'm wondering if this shouldn't stay there
Why?

According to strdup() manpage, it can also change errno, isn't there a risk that errno is changed to an non-zero value and then causing the warning below to be printed?
