Description
I have a problem with some packages (courier-imap for example). These packages need some users other than root, and all my users, except root, are in LDAP. So, the stage just fails. I've made a quick and dirty hack (see patch in bug #734) to use getpwent instead of fgetpwent, so nALFS can work with nss on Linux with glibc. It's just a hack and I know it is not good, but works for me for now.

Analysis is correct; both stage and su handler have this problem. CVS version now uses getpwent() exclusively and does not even try to open /etc/passwd directly. This should work no matter how the user has their system configured to provide pw entries. Please test and report whether it works for you. Thanks!
