Comment:
[For other readers wondering what this is about: if you have a ''really''
minimal environ with no auth support, then getuid() may fail to return a
username. This usually means you need at least /etc/passwd.]
I would think there's going to be a fair bit of stuff that will cause
problems if there's no /etc/passwd or other way for things like getuid()
to work, so you're not really solving the root problem here. Still, it's
probably a relatively harmless fix, but it needs a comment about why it
can fail.
I'd probably prefer that we just didn't display a default username in this
case, too, if we go down this path.
In future, please give an explanation of what you're trying to fix. I've
had enough experience with setting up chroot environments to recognise the
problem, but not everybody is going to have been that unlucky in the past
and you really are talking about a far-out edge case here.
