Is there a reason you did not include the group and --disable-password here?
I think it would be good to leave thelong name options in also.
Sau!
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.
In the shadow-sysroot package that we build to be able to use the
useradd class, we apply the add_root_cmd_options.patch to add the
--root option to useradd.
The --root option allows useradd to chroot somewhere so it can modify
/etc/passwd, but at the same time, it disables all the other long
options in the program.
It looks like it is impossible to use long options with the useradd
class. I don't know how straighforward it would be to modify this
patch to get the long options back. But is it worth the pain ?
Hi Julian,
Are you using the latest from oe-core master? I thought this patch from
Phil addressed this issue:
