The -U option creates a group with the same name. The --disable-password option only exists with adduser and is default with useradd -r. I'd just like to point out that adduser is originally a perl script from debian and reimplemented in busybox. The options it takes are not compatible with the more standard useradd from the shadow package. For some reason, some long options like --system (which is supposed to be supported in useradd) did not work during my first experimentations, but I will investigate and respin a patch with long options if possible. Also, I discovered that the following recipes still depends on adduser: ppp-dialin, avahi, distcc, xserver-nodm-init, pulseaudio, hal, dbus It would be good to use the useradd class with all of them. -- Julian _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
