this means that jk_lsh is inside the jail, and it cannot find the
username or groupname corresponding to the user id or group id it is
started with. Could be that some libnss* files are missing (on a 64bit
system you might need to copy extra libnss* files from /lib64 or so).

Or perhaps the user or group is simply not listed in the
<jail>/etc/passwd or <jail>/etc/group files.

the latest cvs snapshot has better explaining log messages for this
situation.
