How /etc/passwd packed into my final image

How /etc/passwd packed into my final image

[Amit Tomer]

I wanted to modify the content of /etc/passwd but don't know how
/etc/passwd files is packed into final image

After the build process ,passwd file goes to

"tmp/work/k2-poky-linux-gnueabi/image-k2/1.0-r0/rootfs/etc/passwd"

this loaction

Now I see image-k2.bb file but could not find any rule that will pack
passwd file to
final image.

Can anybody how it is packed and way to modify it.

Thanks
Amit

Hi,
I think that the recipe that creates passwd file is under poky/meta/recipes-core/base-passwd (I'm on dora branch).
Maybe with a bbappend of that recipe you can change the passwd file with yours...
Cheers

Rather than modifying it in base-passwd, with master or 1.5 I'd recommend 
using extrausers.bbclass / EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS (see meta-
yocto/conf/local.conf.sample.extended for an example of how to use it).

Cheers,
Paul

Thanks Paul for your suggestion
Method of modifying in base-passws is somehow not working for us
Let us try your suggestion.

Re: How /etc/passwd packed into my final image

Hi Davide

We have added folder base-passwd to

 meta-xyz/recipes-core/base-passwd

and inside this foler we placed two files one is
base-passwd_3.5.26.bbappend and other is customized passwd file

below is the content of base-passwd_3.5.26.bbappend

FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}:"
SRC_URI += "file://passwd"

do_install_append_k2() {
                    install -m 0644 ${WORKDIR}/passwd
${STAGING_DIR_TARGET}${sysconfdir}/passwd
}

But after successful compilation my customized passwd file is not
reflected in /rootfs/etc folder

Any Suggestion where we are doing wrong.

Thanks
Amit

OK, I guess you are using an older version that does not have this facility.
