Currently the bootstrap causes problems when used on a network where the openpkg users are on an LDAP server since there's nothing in the /etc/... files on the local system. Running the binary bootstrap script then inserts the files with the next available user and group IDs. The extra entries then need to be removed from the files, and the permissions for the new instance fixed using ``rpm --setugids openpkg'' which is a bit of a PITA.
