[trivial patch] semanage: pwd.getpwname does not exist

Needed the following trivial patch to fix "semanage user -a hallyn" reporting that the "Linux User does not exist".

It doesn't help me to be able to log in in enforcing mode, but since I'm running gentoo hardened with cvs selinux-usr and cvs sereference, I assume I'm probably on my own. Still I'm open to any suggestions for how to get more debugging info. I guess I'll try to tweak the policy to let sysadm_t ptrace getty_t, login_t, and sshd_t.

thanks,
