   MBSE Enhancement   
   07 Sep 18 11:51:31   
   
   Hi Andrew,   
      
   I'd like to suggest an enhancement.   
      
   I run MBSE in a docker container, and one of the side affects of containers is   
   that when a container is refreshed (like it moves to a new host, or an update   
   comes out), the modified contents of the content itself are lost. (The MBSE   
   data is stored on a persistent device, so the BBS data isnt.)   
      
   The main contents that are needed is /etc/passwd, re-creating BBS users in   
   /etc/passwd. I found some python code that does that work (and it works   
   well), but I think it would be a nice function build into mbtask. It would   
   apply to non docker users, if they move MBSE to a new (clean) host.   
      
   So if mbtask starts, and compares the user list with /etc/passwd, it would be   
   good if it created any missing entries.   
      
   Just a thought...
