Why NOUSER?

What is wrong with the user they specified?  Why can't we do the full auth for
the user - let PAM do its thing and then bail?

This would allow users who use pam_unix's 'audit' flag (for example) to get
accurate and consistant failed password logs across all deamons on a system.

Then, if for some reason PAM still thinks they are perfectly valid (despite no
/etc/passwd entry) *then* we kill it off.  

How does this sound?

I'll propose a patch if required.
