 * Name: passwd_lock and passwd_unlock
 *
 * Description:
 *   Lock the /etc/passwd file.  This is not a real lock at the level of the
 *   file system.  Rather, it only prevents concurrent modification of the
 *   /etc/passwd file by passwd_adduser(), passwd_deluser(), and
 *   passwd_update().  Other accesses to /etc/passwd could still cause
 *   concurrency problem and file corruption.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   Zero (OK) is returned on success; a negated errno value is returned on
 *   failure.
 *
