[Scratchbox-users] bootstrapping issue using sbrsh

[K. Richard Pixley]

I've run into a bootstrapping issue when using sbrsh and I was wondering 
how other people had dealt with it.

As I'm building my system, (from scratch), one of the things I need to 
do is create a /etc/passwd for my target.  As soon as I do that, I've 
trashed whichever /etc/passwd was there previously.  Since sbrsh relies 
on the previous version, (the one with my uid listed), installing the 
new /etc/passwd breaks the sbrsh mechanism.

So I'm wondering, how have other folks worked around this particular issue?
