Hi, just a small update on this. systemd git master has the needed support to reproduce the base-passwd passwd and group files now. The sysuers.d conf file for this looks like this:
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.input and it generates output like this: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.expected-passwd https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.expected-group The only remaining problem is that it generates /sbin/nologin which we do not have (we use /usr/sbin/nologin). But IMO that is not a blocker we could make it a problem of the user (by recommending to the users to create a symlink) - it may go away if UsrMerge takes off. Cheers, Michael
