Should we provide a non-root shell option in the chroot or is that just complicating things too much? Something like: $ mock -r cfg shell --nonroot We could automagically set the UID to be mockbuild and start the user off in the builddir directory. Probably would want to set the PS1 to reflect who we are; currently it's set to "mock-chroot> ", but you're uid=0 and gid is mockbuild. Dunno whether that would be useful or just more cruft we'd have to lug along.
