Fix inconsistent passwd compensation in nss/bug17079.c
It used to be common practice to have a statically linked shell for an alternative root account, as in: root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash toor:x:0:0:root recovery account:/root:/sbin/sash This causes problems with passwd NSS tests because a UID-based lookup will only retrieve one of those entries. The original version of nss/bug17079.c detected this, but failed to use this information later on.
