[freeside] scp error creating users on remote machine

[Michael Ketani]

Hello again,

svc_acct.export seems to be working fine now. My scp error has gone
(corrected my shellmachine entry and enabled passwordless ssh as advised).

One problem however has arisen: I forgot to import my legacy data but
managed to export the test accounts I had created !. Now my shell machine
has no root user and other users like lpd and daemon that were there
before....... (give me a break I'm a Linux newbie !).

Any quick recovery procedure the list can propose will be welcomed !

Thanks

Michael
