I have working local mock configs for F-6 and a variety of other ancient 
releases. In what way does yours not work?

The main local changes I have are that I have:

config_opts['chroot_setup_cmd'] = 'install buildsys-build'
config_opts['useradd'] = '/usr/sbin/useradd -m -u %(uid)s -g %(gid)s -d 
%(home)s -n %(user)s'

where the "buildsys-build" package is in a local repo and can be found 
here: http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/buildsys/
