Adding and using user in more than one recipe

Adding and using user in more than one recipe

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 638 bytes --]

Hello list,
I'm trying to understand how the extrauser and adduser packages are used and interact in kirkstone.

I need to add a user and I would like to also use this user in another recipe. This had been working in our previous builds using version of Yocto up to hardnot. We are in the process of updating to kirkstone and the user stuff has now broken and I am not making any sense out of the documentation.

How do I create a user in one recipe and then use that user in another recipe? Can I even do that, or do I need to create the user in more than one recipe with a hard coded UID, GID?

Regards,
Greg Wilson-LIndberg

you can do it in image recipe

inherit extrausers

IMAGE_FEATURES:remove = "debug-tweaks"

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS += "\
    useradd scribbledeedoo; \
    usermod -p '$(openssl passwd -6 diddleDoo5)' scribbledeedoo; \
    usermod -a -G adm scribbledeedoo; \
    usermod -a -G video scribbledeedoo; \
    usermod -a -G audio scribbledeedoo; \
    usermod -a -G systemd-journal scribbledeedoo; \
"

RE: [yocto] Adding and using user in more than one recipe

[Greg Wilson-Lindberg]

Hi Khem,
That's originally what I had, but for some reason I hadn't put in the useradd line. I'm assuming that then because this is at the beginning of the image generation, I can then use the new user in any other recipe. Is there anything that I need to do to inherit the new user, or is it just there?

Thanks,
Greg

Re: [yocto] Adding and using user in more than one recipe

Hello Khem,
I've added in the useradd line in my image recipe:

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
    useradd -d /home/${SAKURA_USER} -r -s /bin/bash -U ${SAKURA_USER}; \
    usermod -p '${SAKURA_PASS}' ${SAKURA_USER}; \
    usermod -a -G sudo,dialout,video,input,audio,disk,shutdown,datetime ${SAKURA_USER}; \
    "


But I am still getting errors in the two recipes that I try to use the new user. How do I tell them that I need to inherit the added user, do I add a DEPEND or RDEPEND on the top level image recipe? Is there some other way?

I saw a previous thread somewhere that suggested making a separate recipe to create the user in and then making the recipes that use that user DEPEND on the creation recipe.

Regards,
Greg

if you need it in a recipe then perhaps that maybe a good approach.
