I added this package to my tree here (plus the missing Config.in, of
course), enabled upmpdcli in the menuconfig, and ran 'make'.

And I do have upmpdcli as a user in /etc/passwd:

    $ grep upm target/etc/passwd
    upmpdcli:x:1001:1001::/:/bin/false

And here is the relevant part of the log:

    printf 'toto -1 titi -1 * - - -\n       upmpdcli -1 upmpdcli -1 * - - -\n' >>
    /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/br.config/build/rpi/minimal/output/build/_users_table.txt

The 'toto' user is a test user I added to another package, just to
check.

To be noted: users get created only when generating a filesystem.

Can you share the exact commands you used to build?

Yann E. MORIN.
