Hi,

I am trying to add an user to image with /sbin/nologin but it fails with below error

WARNING: avaya-image: useradd command did not succeed. Retrying...
ERROR: test-image: Tried running useradd command 1 times without success, giving up
ERROR: Function failed: set_user_group (log file is located at /home/abhinav/bitbake/.../test-image/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.54725)
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/abhinav/bitbake/../test-image/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.54725
ERROR: Task 7 (/home/abhinav/bitbake/../images/test-image.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'

I am using below section in my recipe to achieve it
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "useradd -M -g user1 user1 -r -s /sbin/nologin;"

Any thoughts how to fix it.

Thanks,
Abhinav

The problem seems to be with the group.
According to my man page, the group must already exist.

Why don't you use the -U flag?

Hi,

Still same error even if I used -U option.

I tried even groupadd but still I get below error.

So any thoughts to fix it.

Thanks,
Abhinav

Can you try this:
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin user1;"

According to my man page:
  By default, a group will also be created for the new user
  <username> must be last
  -r also implies -M
