Problems initializing daemon user cache

[Schmottlach, Glenn]

I'm working on porting DBus 1.2.4 and the associated daemon to QNX
Neutrino on an SH4. I managed to get the library and daemon built but
when I launch the daemon I get the following error:

 

520233: Allocated slot 0 on allocator 811cffc total 1 slots allocated 1

Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username
"root"

 

Obviously it *appears* to fail getting the UID and GID for "root". The
daemon is launched as "root" and I traced through the code. Here's the
call stack

 

8 _dbus_user_database_lookup() ..\..\dbus\dbus-userdb.c:147 0x080dbeb8


7 _dbus_user_database_get_uid() ..\..\dbus\dbus-userdb.c:640 0x080dcbca


6 init_system_db() ..\..\dbus\dbus-userdb.c:249 0x080dc2b8         

5 _dbus_user_database_get_system() ..\..\dbus\dbus-userdb.c:335
0x080dc55e     

4 _dbus_get_user_id_and_primary_group()
..\..\dbus\dbus-userdb-util.c:172 0x080e781a     

3 _dbus_verify_daemon_user() ..\..\dbus\dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c:302
0x080e636c 

2 bus_context_new() ..\..\bus\bus.c:691 0x08055d92        

1 main() ..\..\bus\main.c:443 0x0807a888 

 

The UID for root is of course zero (0) and in
_dbus_user_database_lookup() it tries to look up the cached value for
this user. Since the user cache has just been created and initialized,
the database is empty and the lookup fails. This susequently cascades
out as an error and startup fails. Maybe I'm missing something here, but
how is the user cache supposed to be filled initially when the daemon
starts up? It almost seems like my startup will fail no matter who
starts the daemon (root or someone else).  Perhaps the cache behavior is
somehow different on Linux but I need to understand how the user cache
is expected to work on startup. Can anyone help me out and offer some
suggestions how I might get past this startup issue?
