Subject: [Patch]: getent: properly check for non numeric arguments

Hi,
currently getent handles lookups like:
	getent group 1foo
as numeric (since it only checks the first digit) and tries to lookup
the group name matching the gid=1foo which always fails, same for
passwd.
The attached patch uses strtoul() instead of isdigit(), to make sure the
passed argument is really a number and treats it as group/user name
otherwise. Please apply.
Cheers,
 -- Guido
