>Description:

When trying to find the user in the passwd file, kpasswd casts the
return of getuid() to int in a call to getpwuid(); this is wrong.

	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:
	

Let the prototypes deal.  You don't need a cast on most operating
systems, and if you find one that gives an error, we can special case.

State-Changed-When: Fri Nov 22 19:10:34 1996
State-Changed-Why:
It turns out it is the linking against libdb that was causing
the problem; since we no longer build passwd.local, linking libdb.a is 
not needed in this dir.
