[OE-core] Busybox adduser cannot create system user "no uids left"

[Samuel Stirtzel]

Hi,

with the current master/HEAD it seems impossible to create system
users with busybox.


root at overo:~# which adduser
/usr/sbin/adduser
root at overo:~# ls -la /usr/sbin/adduser
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            19 Aug 29  2013
/usr/sbin/adduser -> /bin/busybox.nosuid
root at overo:~# adduser --system --ingroup lightdm lightdm
adduser: no uids left


Normal user creation works as expected.
Content of /etc/passwd:

Can anyone reproduce this error, or is it a known problem?
