Ok - I want to get this straight. This is with a machine
that has HAVE_GETPWANAM defined after configure, correct ?

I see the bogus free() call in this case, I just want to make sure
I fix this the right way.

Can someone send me a man page for getpwanam() as I can't
find it on the systems I have access to.
