[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/3] packages: add ability for packages to create users
Yann E. MORIN

Sun Dec 30 23:26:03 UTC 2012
Packages that install daemons may need those daemons to run as a non-root,
or an otherwise non-system (eg. 'daemon'), user.
Add infrastructure for packages to create users, by declaring the
FOO_USERS variable that conatin a makedev-syntax-like description
of the user(s) to add.

+Makeuser syntax documentation
+-----------------------------
+
+The syntax to create users is inspired by the makedev syntax, above, but
+is psecific to buildroot.
+
+The syntax for adding a user is a space-separated list of fields, one
+user per-line; the fields are:
+
+|=================================================================
+|username |uid |group |gid |password |home |shell |groups |comment
+|=================================================================
+
+Where:
+
+- +username+ is the desired user name (aka login name) for the user.
+ It must be unique.
+- +uid+ is the desired UID for the user. It must be unique, and not
+ +0+. If set to +-1+, then a unique UID will be computed by buildroot.
+- +group+ is the desired name for the user's main group.
+- +gid+ is the desired GID for the user's main group. It must be unique,
+ and not +0+. If set to +-1+, then a unique GID will be computed by
+ buildroot.
+- +password+ is the crypt(3)-encrypted password. If prefixed with +=+,
+ then it is interpreted as clear-text, and will be cypt-encoded. If
+ prefixed with +!+, then login is disabled. If set to +*+, then login
+ is not allowed.
+- +home+ is the desired home directory for the user. If set to '-', no
+ home directory will be created, and the user's home will be +/+.
+ Explicitly setting +home+ to +/+ is not allowed.
+- +shell+ is the desired shell for the user. If set to +-+, then
+ +/bin/false+ is set as the user's shell.
+- +groups+ is the comma-separated list of additional groups the user
+ should be part of. If set to +-+, then the user will be a member of
+ no additional group.
+- +comment+ is an almost-free-form text.
+
+There are a few restrictions on the content of each field:
+
+* except for +comment+, all fields are mandatory.
+* except for +comment+, fields may not contain spaces.
+* no field may contain a column (+:+).
+
+If +home+ is not +-+, then the home directory, and all files below,
+will belong to the user and its main group.
+
+Example:
+
+----
+foo -1 bar -1 !=blabla /home/foo /bin/sh alpha,bravo Foo user
+----
+
+This will create this user:
+
+- +username+ (aka login name) is: +foo+
+- +uid+ is computed by buildroot
+- main +group+ is: +bar+
+- main group +gid+ is computed by buildroot
+- clear-text +password+ is: +blabla+, will be crypt(3)-encrypted, but login is disabled.
+- +home+ is: +/home/foo+
+- +shell+ is: +/bin/sh+
+- +foo+ is also a member of +groups+: +alpha+ and +bravo+
+- +comment+ is: +Foo user+
