In the code of libusers we use popt library but we release popt context too early. In older versions, popt leaked memory, so it worked anyway.
With this patch poptFeeContext() call is moved to the end of main() function.
The patch also unifies the way utilities terminate in case of an error.

What does 1 mean? Is it EPERM?
Do you need to check if ent is not NULL? Couldn't you just call free?
Can you move the declaration of p to another line? It would help read the code later on.
I'd recommend setting result to 0 before done.
done
I have added some comments to the first two files but they apply to all of the files.
It does not have any meaning that I'm aware of. There is a subtle difference between calling exit() and returning a value from main, but in libuser case it does not matter.
It looks like historically some people preferred exit() and the others return. Here I wanted to unify them but I do not dare change the returned value since people can relay on it in their scripts.
unfortunately yes, glib and libuser as well considers freeing NULL as an error and they print ugly assert warning.

Hi Iker, I updated the PR.
I split the declaration where I touch it with PR.
I moved the result = 0 assignment just before done, note that this is there just for readability.
result = 0
I think you aren't using this variable.
It is used, It is just not visible in diff :) You suggested to split declarations to multiple lines for better readability and I agree with that. It looks better IMO. Since I touched this declaration with NULL initialization (*ent = NULL) , I also split it into two lines. But the usage of groupEnt did not change. Please, take a look at whole file.
groupEnt
You are right! I thought it was a newly created variable.
LGTM! Ack to the patch.
Thank you for the review.
