[chord] Question of building sfs

[Y Chen]

Hi

According to Chord HOWTO, I don't need further step to build SFS, but when I run
the configure script by
>~/src/sfs1/configure --with-dmalloc --with-db3

there are errors and needs me to create sfs user and sfs group

...
checking for sfs user and group... [No user sfs. No group sfs.] no
configure: error: Create sfs user/group or use --with-sfsuser/--with-sfsgroup
...

I am one user of a Linux system, have no permission of changing the file of
/etc/passwd and /etc/group

Is there any way to avoid this?

Thanks a lot.
