Subj : MBSE Enhancement

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.
