2017-04-13base-passwd/useradd: Various improvements to useradd with RSSRichard Purdie
Currently there are multiple issues with useradd: * If base-passwd rebuilds, it wipes out recipe specific user/group additions to sysroots and causes errors * If recipe A adds a user and recipe B depends on A, it can't see any of the users/groups A adds. This patch changes base-passwd so it always works as a postinst script within the sysroot and copies in the master files, then runs any postinst-useradd-* scripts afterwards to add additional user/groups. The postinst-useradd-* scripts are tweaked so that if /etc/passwd doesn't exist they just exit, knowning they'll be executed later. We also add a dummy entry to the dummy passwd file from pseudo so we can avoid this too. There is a problem where if recipe A adds a user and recipe B depends on A but doesn't care about users, it may not have a dependency on the useradd/groupadd tools which would therefore not be available in B's sysroot. We therefore also tweak postinst-useradd-* scripts so that if the tools aren't present we simply don't add users. If you need the users, you add a dependency on the tools in the recipe and they'll be added. We add postinst-* to SSTATE_SCAN_FILES since almost any postinst script of this kind is going to need relocation help. We also ensure that the postinst-useradd script is written into the sstate object as the current script was only being added in a recipe local way. Thanks to Peter Kjellerstedt <pkj@axis.com> and Patrick Ohly for some pieces of this patch. [Yocto #11124] Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
2016-08-10pseudo: Add nobody user and groupDavis, Michael
Nodejs expects the user and group nobody to exist on global install commands. The target build works as base-passwd contained it, however the fallback passwd did not. This broke the SDK if nodejs was included. Signed-off-by: Michael Davis <michael.davis@essvote.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com>
2014-11-25pseudo: provide fallback passwd and group filesPeter A. Bigot
Normally pseudo is built with --without-passwd-fallback, which requires that somebody provide target passwd and group files. Those come from base-passwd in OE, but base-passwd cannot be built without first invoking operations under pseudo that require getpw*/getgr*. Provide the absolute minimum stub files, matching in content what will eventually be on the target, that can be used in the cases where the target files are not yet available. The requirements for minimum stub are the usernames and groups identified in meta/files/fs-perms.txt. Signed-off-by: Peter A. Bigot <pab@pabigot.com>
