This also calls for some modifications to File_Passwd to which I have added lock(), unlock() and isLocked() methods. I added these methods to File_Passwd because IMO the lockfile should be used only when modifying the passwd file, not everytime Auth object is created. These modifications are quite simple and wont break anything so I would like to commit them after testing them properly, if no one is against it. -- Mika Tuupola http://www.appelsiini.net/~tuupola/
