| Brilliant! Do you have a work around, or what are you doing about it?
| 
| I just tried posting to the busybox list, hopefully that will get a

| 
| Could it have something to do with /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow being  
| improperly set?
| 
| Are you NFS mounting /, like I am, and could that have anything to do  
| with it?
