[yocto] How /etc/passwd packed into my final image

[Amit Tomer]

Hi Davide

We have added folder base-passwd to

 meta-xyz/recipes-core/base-passwd

and inside this foler we placed two files one is
base-passwd_3.5.26.bbappend and other is customized passwd file

below is the content of base-passwd_3.5.26.bbappend

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}:"
SRC_URI += "file://passwd"

do_install_append_k2() {
                    install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/passwd
${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}${sysconfdir}/passwd
}

But after successful compilation my customized passwd file is not
reflected in /rootfs/etc folder

Any Suggestion where we are doing wrong.

Thanks
Amit
