Re: Creating release using site48.tgz
Hi Ingo, I tried using install.site, sudoers and backup script inside site48.tgz and it still didn't work as expected. I was trying again to create site48.tgz with etc/rc.firsttime, /etc/sudoers and /etc/backup.sh inside. For the rc.firsttime, I wrote the command: groupadd -g 1011 fwadmin and other commands once it is done,I made it as bootable iso file and try to install to the pc and it works as expected.

Re: Creating release using site48.tgz
I was making the site48.tgz for testing and there is only /etc/rc.firsttime.
There is a command line to create some new users for this purpose.
The next step was I put the site48.tgz on /home/OpenBSD/4.8/amd64 (the same
folder where base48.tgz, etc48.tgz etc there) and make iso file using mkhybrid.
During the installation using the new iso file, the site48.tgz is displayed on
the menu and I was able to include in as a set (by clicking +site48.tgz) and
the
installation was successfull.
However, after I log in to the new system, the new users that I created (using
some command line on /etc/rc.firsttime file inside site48.tgz) do not exist at
all. I have tested /etc/rc.firsttime on another machine by copying rc.firsttime
on /etc folder and reboot manually and it works normally.
Is there a way to check what went wrong here?
Below is the sample of the content of rc.firsttime:
#!/bin/ksh
#creating the detail for fwadmin account
groupadd -g 1011 fwadmin
useradd -p '$2a$06$rJ5kpL.4nZ.qQPHnbO' -u 1011 -s /bin/ksh -m -g fwadmin fwadmin
