Modified Files:
	src/libexec/utmp_update: utmp_update.c

Log Message:
The following changes make ftpd able to remove its own entries. Ftpd
calls pututxline() with ruid = 0, euid = current-ftp-user. This ends
up calling update_utmp:
- if the real uid is root, don't do password or tty ownership checks
- if we cannot open the tty line, assume that it is a daemon that does
  not use ttys and allow it to change a live entry to a dead one if
  indeed it is the same process that created the entry.
