Hello,

Looking around the web and reading the assorted documents it seems to be
that the defined way to set the root password is to remove "debug-tweaks"
from EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES and to add the following lines to local.conf:

require conf/distro/include/security_flags.inc
INHERIT += "extrausers"
EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "usermod -P <encrypted_password> root;"

When I try to build core-image-minimal then the build fails with the
following:

| DEBUG: Executing shell function set_user_group
| NOTE: Performing usermod with [-R
XXXXX/build/tmp/work/intel_core2_32-poky-linux/core-image-minimal-initramfs/

Any ideas on how to make this work?

Thanks,

Andy.
