I think it was problem of accessing dom rather than res. Check is there.

I fixed all of them, hopefully, except:

Yes, it is a dead code. But I think it's better to leave it in:
1) Without default a compiler will produce warning since not all
SYSDB_MEMBER* are used.
2) Better to have it.
Do you think it may be better to use all SYSDB_MEMBER* instead of
default branch? It will however also produce the coverity warning, I think.

In the future, yes. We may want them.

Or a man page change? Or both? It is not in this patchset...
