Hi list,
I'm trying to generate a rootfs and am using a script to add users,
groups etc. I first add a group via groupadd -R ${ROOTFS_TARGET}
somegroup which works fine.
Using useradd with the -R parameter, to add a user also works as
expected, until i try to add the -a -G somegroup options. Using usermod
after creating the group and doing -a -G somegroup identically fails
informing us there is no such group, somegroup.
It appears both usermod and useradd use the local /etc/group rather then
what is supplied via the -R parameter. A workaround for now, is to use
chroot directly, chroot ${TARGET} usermod -a -G somegroup someuser, but
that only works if coreutils (or busybox (without useradd/usermod)) are
already installed on the target, which may not be there (yet/at all).
Am I doing something wrong or is this indeed a bug in the coreutils?
I'm using debian jessie's 8.23-4 on amd64
