We can do that, but I'd propose to at least run all the removal still, even despite of an error, because it would minimize amount of potential left-overs. We could then leave the UID in place, but disable logins for that user?

I don't suggest doing rollbacks. IMHO partially removed user that cannot be 
used anymore is acceptable.

At least for user creation stage it would be nice to have possibility to rollback. But those would require having an LFS filesystem, which I think we should have in first place at least for IVI and such. It would also allow doing quick and complete factory-defaults reset.

That's fine, it's one way to do that. Could you point me to the place where it 
is handled? What label are you giving to the home directory?

Imran can probably quicker point the place where it happens. It's "User" something. We added the code, because by default home directory was inheriting "System" label or something like that and it prevented user logins...

Are you saying that /etc/skel handling in gumd prevents security xattrs? That 
would be perfect, we could simply set the proper labels there.

Intention is to copy things exactly over from there, including xattrs, only change naturally being UID/GID change for the items. So if it is possible to set correct attributes there, it would be really nice. Only case where I see that being not straightforward is case when you'd like to create some user-specific labels that no other user has. But these could be handled with the post-creation script.

Does gumd daemon still need to be running for gum-utils to work? If yes, is 
your solution usable when image is created by mic?
I'm only asking, it would be great to have gum-utils or libgum usable at image 
creation time. We wouldn't have to care about using bare useradd commands and 
fixing everything else it doesn't handle.

It needs to be, but now there's environment variable to switch it to use a regular socket for dbus communication instead of system bus daemon. So you could start gumd with "gumd &" and then run the gum-utils without need for other services like system-bus daemon. Once you are done, you could "killall gumd".

But this approach is likely require some changes to gumd. At least cynara 
support andhandling error codes from scripts.

That shouldn't be an issue. We'll modify script handling and see into adding Cynara support.
