My comment was that whether or not I used the -u option (uid implicit or
explicit), I got invalid behavior (where user configs weren't pulled). I
have to assume it was some strange underlying behavior which emerged on
Debian for Sparc, the platform in question. Unfortunately, this machine was
de-commissioned not but 2 weeks ago. If you happen to provide a Sparc
release in the future, it might be something to check.
