[dev] [slock] 1.4 no longer working on freebsd with ldap/kerberos

After upgrading from 1.3 to 1.4 on FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1, slock is saying:

  slock: getpwuid: cannot retrieve shadow entry. Make sure to suid or
sgid slock.

I believe this is related to this change:

   http://git.suckless.org/slock/commit/?id=04143fd68dbc656905714eff5c208fadb3464e25

In my case, my passwd field contains '*' because my user exists in ldap,
and my password is coming through Kerberos.

This was all working on 1.3. Please advise.
