I'll probably do so (referencing also the previous ones) once I finish
testing this; the downside is that I may not get a chance to plunk a few
straight solid hours into it until this weekend (darn that "paying work"
stuff!), so we may have to find new realms of the subject to flam^Wdebate
until then, just to keep the ol' adrenaline flowing.

Regardless of the outcome of the passwd issue, I think the pid_*()
functions in libutil will be useful for other things that do those kind
of functions.  Just glancing at my /var/run, I can see cron, inetd,
mountd, moused, and syslogd, just among the stuff in our base system that
isn't contrib/-ish (like named, sshd, ntpd, etc).
