fileutils: xmkstemp() interface change
We can not let the user control where TMPDIR is for this tempfile.
This will be where we write the updated passwd file, and must be
capable of being moved atomically with rename(2). Therefore, it
cannot be on a different device, or setpwnam() and vipw/vigr programs
will invariably fail with EXDEV.
