Needed the following trivial patch to fix "semanage user -a hallyn"
reporting that the "Linux User does not exist".

It doesn't help me to be able to log in in enforcing mode, but since
I'm running gentoo hardened with cvs selinux-usr and cvs sereference,
I assume I'm probably on my own.  Still I'm open to any suggestions for
how to get more debugging info.  I guess I'll try to tweak the policy
to let sysadm_t ptrace getty_t, login_t, and sshd_t.

thanks,
-serge
