Ok, even more confusing:
I inserted this into my rcS startup script (which is the only way
I've been able to do debugging:
echo report uid
id
and this is what I see:
uid=4294967295 gid=42967295
Wow, so somehow inittab is getting very confused about the uid...
Did Linux 2.6 increase the size of the uid's from 16 to 32 bits, or
is this handled in uclibc? Is it possible one of those two is
confused/misconfigured?
