[Error] Failure to create rootful distrobox when using systemd-homed

[Smujb]

Describe the bug
Users managed by systemd-homed are still not picked up by distrobox enter --root

Here is the error on distrobox 2.0.0-rc.4:

Error: unable to find user JayB: no matching entries in passwd file
2026/08/05 11:24:23 failed to execute enter command: failed to enter the container: error running the interactive command :exit status 255

And on 1.8.2.5:

Error: unable to find user JayB: no matching entries in passwd file

To Reproduce

• Log into a user account managed by systemd-homed
• Create a rootful distrobox
• Attempt to enter it
• An error is returned

Expected behavior
After entering the password, I should be presented with a shell in the newly created container. Instead, I get an error.
