[Bug 280995] [PATCH] pwdbopen: don't check effective UID

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=280995

--- Comment #2 from me@levitati.ng ---
The getpwnam(3) man page would also need a slight update.

And I've been considering if it is a good idea to add an error message in
pam_unix.c for when the passwords cannot be accessed.

Currently, the error for a failed authentication and error for not being able
to open the password file are both "Authentication refused". An error like
"Could not access encrypted passwords" could be more descriptive.
