In general, I'm not a fan of adding such a feature. Exposing passwords and also their hashes to visible to any user (which a boot parameter is, through /proc/cmdline), is not a good thing. It's better to statically configure user accounts directly by calling e.g. adduser through a hook at build time. However, i understand that this is unflexible as it's a thing you do during build time and not during run (or boot) time. This, and also the fact that the issue comes up now in the third year of debian-live for the third time, in different implementations though, I admit that there appears to be a demand for that. When I'm going to make initial plans for live-initramfs 2.x next week, I'll honor that and try to come up with any smart thing that would allow such a thing, I don't have any at hand right now. > and send it again. Hope you do not mind. sure not. if you have anything else that has gone lost (or you think it has gone lost, or simply you didn't got any answer), please do never hesitate to resend/ask/whatever again.
