ian 2207d3a472 Make pw(8) showuser work the same with or without -R <path> for non-root 
users.  Without -R, pw(8) uses getpwnam(3), which will open master.passwd
for the root user or passwd for non-root users.  With -R <path> pw(8) was
always opening <path>/master.passwd, which would fail for a non-root user,
then falsely claim the userid you're trying to show doesn't exist.

Now for a non-root user it opens <path>/passwd and zeroes out the 3 fields
that aren't available in the passwd file, which duplicates the behavior of
getpwnam(3).  The net effect is that the showuser output is identical
whether using -R or not.

README 

pw is a command-line driven passwd/group editor utility that provides
an easy and safe means of modifying of any/all fields in the system
password files, and has an add, modify and delete mode for user and
group records. Command line options have been fashioned to be similar
to those used by the Sun/shadow commands: useradd, usermod, userdel,
groupadd, groupmod, groupdel, but combines all operations within the
single command `pw'.

User add mode also provides a means of easily setting system useradd
defaults (see pw.conf.5), so that adding a user is as easy as issuing
the command "pw useradd <loginid>". Creation of a unique primary
group for each user and automatic membership in secondary groups
is fully supported.

This program may be FreeBSD specific, but should be trivial to port to
other bsd4.4 variants.
