Fix the logic in the local user detection routine (860 bytes, patch)

Description Kees Cook 2007-08-17 15:16:37 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
gvm_local_user doesn't correctly test for local users (only the length of the user name is tested if using pam_foreground).

Steps to reproduce:
1. create user "foo" and "bar"
2. log "foo" in locally, log "bar" in remotely
3. see "bar" get notifications


Actual results:
"bar" is detected as being local

Expected results:
only "foo" should be detected local

Does this happen every time?
yes
