Although it may not have immediate negative consequences, the failed
test is an indication that you made a mistake somewhere.  Perhaps when
entering the chroot-environment?  Or when configuring user "tester"?
For the latter you could check whether the the output of
	grep 'tester' /etc/{passwd,group}
is in line with what's in the book.

IMO it's always good (and instructive) to get to the bottom of such
problems.
