User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2)

Description of problem:
During code review found: leaked memory, not properly checking file
descriptors before using them, a call to poll that returned -1 because
of EINTR is being processed as if it were a valid return from poll,
return code from forkCommand not being used at all, testing of device
file susceptible to races in usernetctl, and userctl tests were
unneccessarily case sensitive.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.48

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Found by code inpection

Additional info:

I have a patch that I will attach. Please consider applying it before
fedora core 2 final.

Someone actually looked through process.c. Yikes, my condolances (it
should really be taken out and shot.)

Some of the forkCommand stuff is only correct due to the fact that
it's only called with certain arguments; but that's ok.

Thanks for looking at this... will be in 7.51-1.
