Actually, the correct fix is to use the id command.  It will automagically
find it no matter what the passwd source is:

peter@overcee[11:38pm]~src/tools/tools/vop_table-148> id -u smmsp
25
peter@overcee[11:38pm]~src/tools/tools/vop_table-149> echo $status
0
peter@overcee[11:38pm]~src/tools/tools/vop_table-150> id -u fake
id: fake: no such user
peter@overcee[11:38pm]~src/tools/tools/vop_table-151> echo $status
1

Care to whip up a patch? I'll commit it for you.  (I'd do it but I'm working
on something)

Cheers,
-Peter
