For one of my projects, I have a read-only rootfs, but I do use PAM plugins for controlling login access to the device, as well as group controls and non-root users for daemons and such. After my latest update to master, I ran into an problem where all logins failed and some daemons failed to start. I tracked it down to this recent commit:
http://cgit.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/lib/oe/rootfs.py?id=f4932e2e640764d16f1f6d398390ebfb376f4cf1 The problem is that the shadow package includes not only the utilities for manipulating the password and groups files, but it also includes the full-featured /bin/login and the su, sg, groups, and newgrp utilities, plus the login PAM rules file. I worked around the issue by repackaging shadow so the programs and config files that aren't related to changing the passwd and group files ended up in a separate package that remained in the rootfs. That seemed to be the cleanest way to deal with the problem, and it did the trick for me. If there's interest, I can submit a patch. -Matt -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
