I'm trying to use the example in "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project" to add a user to my Yocto build. In the book the sample code:useradd -p `openssl passwd ${DEV_PASSWORD}` developer; \ uses openssl to generate the encrypted password string to pass to useradd. I have never been able to get this to work. When I run the openssl command on the cmd line I get a different value every time, this seems wrong, How can the password code compare against it if every encode produces a different value? I am getting the user added to the system, the home directory shows up and the user is in the passwd and group files. I just can't login to the account. I've obviously got something confused, any help would be appreciated. Greg Wilson-Lindberg
You could just use something like: useradd -P 123456 developer Best Regards, Chen Qi -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
