the id applet from busybox-cvs tries to use nss-libraries to query the
system (/etc/nsswitch.conf and /lib/libnss*.so). The normal busybox
version doesn't do this, it simply parse the files directly.
I have attached two strace outputs (created with both busybox version in
the debian-installer).
Hope this will help to track down the problem.
Please contact me for more informations, or the complete strace output
:)
Bye
