It's not difficult to copy the lines from /etc/passwd into a mfs upon login, you don't necessarily need suid but yeah that's a hard way. I use single command shells myself and probably should have suggested that. I was just quickly chucking in possibilities really.

Yeah quite Ironic e though on the systems I use I've noticed almost no power consumption increase, would probably be a different story if my GPUs were compatible, hmmm. Anyway it's medical and malaria uses I run it on and hope others do.
