From the pure_lfs.txt hint: It's worth mentioning here that user name and group name resolution will start working immediately after the passwd and group files are created because we have a glibc already installed. You can therefore execute:-
exec /stage1/bin/bash --login
to get rid of the "I have no name!" message in the command prompt.
