Hey Andy, I didn't know about this EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS. What I do is adding this function to my image.
# This function sets the password for root based on ROOT_PASSWD variable set_root_password () { local p=$(openssl passwd -1 -salt "My salt" "${ROOT_PASSWD}") sed -e "s/root:[^:]*:/root:${p}:/" -i ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/etc/shadow } And append it to ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND: ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "set_root_password; " I did all this in a class file which I import on all my images, but since you point me EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS I think I'll do that in your (the right) way. About your problem, can you get the "usermod" error from log.do_rootfs in your image WORKDIR/temp folder? Cheers - dhs PS: Not all shells recognize the "local" keyword. Remove it if you have problems. 2015-09-24 10:24 GMT-03:00 Andy Pont <andy.p...@sdcsystems.com>: > 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/ > 1.0-r0/rootfs -P Hkw6rBJlcfhvM root] and 1 times of retry > | Server refused shutdown.
