Jason,

That's my fault, and a bug.  Because the distro's packages are delivered
broken (bug 681), I had to do a jack-deleting workaround (see bug 742)
when installing zones.

The goal is to have zones *not* have a 'jack' user, since the presence
of this user on the system with a well-known password (as opposed to the
livecd) is just a bug.

However, I stupidly forgot to update /etc/shadow (and perhaps some
other places, I'll have to go look).

Please open a bug, and I'll get it fixed (hopefully this week if I can
get over this stupid flu).  Thanks for finding this!
