OK I can confirm that it does NOT work with Jumpstart. useradd and
groupadd try to modify the read-only files on the jumpstart NFS image.

Should we:
(a) move them to the /etc/init.d/openssh script same as the keygens
(b) attempt to hand-hack $PKG_INSTALL_ROOT/etc/passwd
(c) chroot tricks?
(d) ?

I prefer (a).

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
