What is the best way to set the root password for an image during build
time?
I have come across this snippet:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += " \
sed 's%^root:[^:]*:%root:${PASSWD}:%' \
< ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/shadow \
> ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/shadow.new;\
mv ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/shadow.new ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/shadow ;"
but it feels a bit hacky... is there no defined way to do this cleanly?
Cheers,
Jack.

What about using EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS?
E.g.
1. Get the encrypted password.
(One way to get the encrypted password is using openssl, of course you
can use other methods.)
openssl passwd -1 root
$1$QauDU/Ig$KEeg.OaCLFkNwSXW4xYRu1
2. Add to local.conf the following lines. Note the '$' sign should be
escaped.
INHERIT += "extrausers"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -p '\$1\$QauDU/Ig\$KEeg.OaCLFkNwSXW4xYRu1' root;"
Best Regards,
