changing lock mechanism

Systems can suffer power interruptions whilst .lock files are in /etc,
preventing scripts and other automation tools from updating shadow's
files which persist across boots.

This commit replaces that mechanism with file locking to avoid problems
of power interruption/crashing.

Minor tweak to groupmems man page, requested by 'xx' on IRC.
