grrr... this seems to be glibc and getpwnam(3)
I also have a (perhaps unrelated) issue with udev_start
hanging at boot time until I hit ^C.
Running it with strace revealed that a subprocess
spawned by udev_start tries to log through syslog
to complain about a missing environment variable:
Sep 22 02:38:31 beetle hal.hotplug[17028]: SEQNUM is not set
As a sidenote, I've always found the way processes hang
when syslogd isn't running extremely annoying. Is this
a bug in glibc's implementation of syslog(2) or this behavior
by design?
