tech-userlevel: root vs. /etc/pwd.db vs. /etc/spwd.db.

so, our libc code only looks at /etc/spwd.db if we are running as root,
which is annoying if running under a chroot environment where we only
care about the uid <-> name mapping, and thus only provide a /etc/pwd.db
in the chroot area.  the patch below fixes this problem for me.


do people think this should go in ?
