Sure enough, if you look in ra_local's open() function, it's using
session->uuid as the "realmstring" to the auth system. But why the heck
is it *ever* calling a prompting function? Is this a bug in our auth
system?

Maybe not. Looking at the username-provider, it looks like we (1) try
to get --username, (2) try to get a username from the auth cache, (3)
run getuid().

Somehow, by running in a chroot environment, our auth system is "rolling
over" into a prompting provider, which is prompting for a username. I
guess the behavior is explainable, but not the underlying cause of the
provider rollover. Perhaps getuid() is failing?
