Bug Description

Binary package hint: scponly

The setup_chroot.sh script copies the relevant lines from /etc/passwd to the $fakeroot/etc/passwd file. In the case where you have already set up another user with the same fake root this will overwrite the file, breaking the login for the previously added user.

The bug is at line #258 of the script:
/bin/grep $targetuser /etc/passwd > $targetdir/etc/passwd

The fix should be to append to this file instead of overwriting it in the case that it already exists:
/bin/grep $targetuser /etc/passwd >> $targetdir/etc/passwd

Ubuntu version: 10.04.2
scponly version: 4.8-4
