[yocto] add a user via recipe

[Matthias.Heise at atlas-elektronik.com]

Ok, the EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS method now also works, it was the typo with USER and USERS and an encrypted password with '  ' around it which is needed, strangely the encrypted string for one and the same password all of a sudden was different, after re-generating it, it worked

Hi there,

I'm still trying to add a user via recipe. The method with

inherit extrausers
EXTRA_USER_PARAMS = "useradd -p '\$6\$53uYm/0Fnll\$Nc0RbHSvqRrd63Tw98TO3V1n25ORK9oR4QHqRIriXzLy0il/7.LIacX7mz7RJ1tdPIWiCJLNyQa7dKBNURqEg1' fstuser;"


EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS instead of EXTRA_USER_PARAMS

Also, clear password is supported. E.g.
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "useradd -P 'hello' tester;"


Does not work (no errors just no user in image), as well as this :

ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "add_a_user;"

add_a_user(){
     useradd -p '\$6\$53uYm/0Fnll\$Nc0RbHSvqRrd63Tw98TO3V1n25ORK9oR4QHqRIriXzLy0il/7.LIacX7mz7RJ1tdPIWiCJLNyQa7dKBNURqEg1' fstuser;
}

Which results in an error during bitbake :
useradd: /etc/passwd.23966: Permission denied
useradd cannot lock /etc/passwd; try again later


You need to pass '--root xxx' option to it.

any ideas to that ?
thanks,
