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.

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.
