Making a backup of /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generally all that's needed.
Alternatively, I don't bother with other distros much any more.  If I 
do, I can use kvm so they don't mess with *my* system.

Generally 'sudo vi /etc/passwd' works for that.  Even better,

mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/lfs
sudo cp /mnt/lfs/etc/{passwd,group} /etc

Will do the trick too.  :)
