This breaks:

1) su on passwordless accounts.
   (a) `su <passwordless>' now bogusly prompts for a password.  It lets
       you in if you type an empty password.
   (b) `echo somecommand | su <passwordless>' now bogusly prompts for
       a password.  su doesn't find a password, and exits without printing
       anything or running `somecommand'.  I use the latter form a lot.
(2) static linkage of rshd.  Previously, only static linkage of many other
    commands that are linked to libpam was broken (ftpd was one).
