[yocto] How Do I add users in /etc/passwd in Yocto

[Amit Tomer]

Fine Davide

So  my requiremnet is this .

>From from original /etc/passwd file

root:x:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh
proxy:x:13:13:proxy:/bin:/bin/sh
www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

Have to do this

root:x:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/false
proxy:x:13:13:proxy:/bin:/bin/false
www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/false



Now for this would below work??

SUMMARY = "Example recipe for using inherit useradd"
DESCRIPTION = "This recipe serves as an example for using features
from useradd.bbclass"
SECTION = "examples"
PR = "r1"
LICENSE = "MIT"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://${COREBASE}/LICENSE;md5=3f40d7994397109285ec7b81fdeb3b58 \

file://${COREBASE}/meta/COPYING.MIT;md5=3da9cfbcb788c80a0384361b4de20420"

SRC_URI = "file://passwd"

USERADD_PARAM_${PN} = "-u 1200 -d /home/root -r -s /bin/false root"

And How do I force this recipe to be picked while bitbake my image??

Thanks
Amit
