In ash, UID isn't a readonly variable. In bash, it is. I had to use daemontls.lrp to start my dnscache on Bering when I switched my shell to bash. It may be the same problem you are having. The only other way I know to get UID to be set to something else (which it needs to be to have any of the djb tools run as their proper user instead of root) is to use su or something like it (envuidgid - part of the bering daemontls.lrp package) to actually change the user before the program is run. The djb stuff expects the UID environment variable to be set to the user it is supposed to run as.
