I wonder if login.defs should be provided at all by base-passwd package.
It should come from shadow isnt it ?

Hi Khem,

The reason for including the login.defs file with base-passwd has to do with
the new useradd.bbclass that I developed (Richard is still holding it for
code review, but we should see it here soon). The way it works is custom
users/groups get added to the passwd/group files in the target machine's
sysroot. The shadow utils require a login.defs in order to work.

hence it should come from shadow isnt it ? why from base-passwd ?
if someone is not using using shadow this file will be useless for
him/her isnt it ?

Sorry, I forgot to mention that shadow-utils-native is what is used to modify the passwd/group files in the target sysroot. It seems that having a -native recipe install files into a target sysroot would be worse than including an optional file with base-passwd that may or may not be used in target systems.
