libmapuid
Shared library mapping random OpenShift 3 container UIDs to well-known UID. Useful for applications which require a passwd entry for their running user.
For now the behaviour is hardcoded. For getpwuid and getpwuid_r calls all UIDs >= 1000000000 are mapped to UID 1001, which is user "default" in OpenShift base images and has a passwd entry.
