I'm trying to use the example in "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto
Project" to add a user to my Yocto build. In the book the sample code:
useradd -p `openssl passwd ${DEV_PASSWORD}` developer; \
uses openssl to generate the encrypted password string to pass to useradd. I
have never been able to get this to work. When I run the openssl
command on the cmd line I get a different value every time, this seems wrong,
How can the password code compare against it if every encode
produces a different value?
I am getting the user added to the system, the home directory shows up and the
user is in the passwd and group files. I just can't login to the
account.
I've obviously got something confused, any help would be appreciated.
