chmod etc/shadow to 0600 doesn't make a difference.

I didn't (uclibc buildroot doesn't make one by default), but adding one 
didn't make a difference.

The only thing that I can think of that is causing this is that I have a 
2.6.10 kernel and the uClibc buildroot was run with 2.6.9 headers.

I'm re-building everything with 2.6.10 headers to see if this is it.
