This update addresses an issue in the following fixlets and their
associated detection scripts that appears in extremely rare netgroup
configurations.
In rare configurations, when certain subtasks return non-compliant,
subsequent compliance checks are not executed. The change was to allow
these fixlets to ignore netgroup entries in the passwd file.
