Hi I have tried both methods, described in the manual (see below), to set the groups for the live user without success.
The reason I found this issue is because I couldn't shutdown, then I checked the groups for the live user. There are no error messages, the build ends successfully. Live-build version is 3.0.5-1 running on wheezy. I would like to know if I'm doing something wrong, if anything? Any insight would be grateful.

Customizing run time behaviours 502<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#502> All configuration that is done during run time is done by *live-config*. Here are some of the most common options of *live-config* that users are interested in. A full list of all possibilities can be found in the man page of *live-config*. 503<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#503> 10.1 Customizing the live user 504<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#504> One important consideration is that the live user is created by *live-boot* at boot time, not by *live-build* at build time. This not only influences where materials relating to the live user are introduced in your build, as discussed in Live/chroot local includes<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-contents.html#live-chroot-local-includes>, but also any groups and permissions associated with the live user. 505<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#505> You can specify additional groups that the live user will belong to by using any of the possibilities to configure *live-config*. For example, to add the live user to the fuse group, you can either add the following file in config/includes.chroot/etc/live/config/user-setup.conf: 506<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#506> LIVE_USER_DEFAULT_GROUPS="audio cdrom dip floppy video plugdev netdev powerdev scanner bluetooth fuse" 507<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#507> or use live-config.user-default-groups=audio,cdrom,dip,floppy,video,plugdev,netdev,powerdev,scanner,bluetooth,fuse as a boot parameter. 508<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#508> It is also possible to change the default username "user" and the default password "live". If you want to do that for any reason, you can easily achieve it as follows: 509<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#509> To change the default username you can simply specify it in your config: 510<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#510> $ lb config --bootappend-live "boot=live config username=live-user" 511<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-run-time-behaviours#511> One possible way of changing the default password is by means of a hook as described in Boot-time hooks<http://live.debian.net/manual/stable/html/live-manual/customizing-contents.html#boot-time-hooks>. In order to do that you can use the "passwd" hook from /usr/share/doc/live-config/examples/hooks, prefix it accordingly (e.g. 2000-passwd) and add it to config/includes.chroot/lib/live/config/
