1794 When a recipe inherits the
1795 <link linkend='ref-classes-extrausers'><filename>extrausers</filename></link>
1796 class, this variable provides image level user and group
1797 operations.
1798 This is a more global method of providing user and group
1799 configuration as compared to using the
1800 <link linkend='ref-classes-useradd'><filename>useradd</filename></link>
1801 class, which ties user and group configurations to a
1802 specific recipe.

1806 The set list of commands you can configure using the
1807 <filename>EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS</filename> is shown in the
1808 <filename>extrausers</filename> class.
1809 These commands map to the normal Unix commands of the same
1810 names:

1812 # EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS = "\
