Hi- I found the problem... it was a bug in my pidentd changes where I wasn't properly handling an ioctl failure. So, using an ioctl to do a direct hash table lookup makes the userid mismatches go away. We've been running tests for 12 hours without any failures. > Have you tried netlink yet? Does it exhibit the same problem? Only so many test systems to go around. ;-) Will start these tests tonight and report back.
