* useradd-staticids: Adjust USERADD_ERROR_DYNAMIC condition and error messageMark Hatle2014-02-111-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The USERADD_ERROR_DYNAMIC needs to check that both users and groups that are defined need to be represented as static ids, or an error should occur. For the user check, we want to make sure the uid is a numeric value. (The gid can be name, as the GROUPADD check will validate for a number there -- or during install useradd will fail if that group is not defined.) For the group check, we verify that the gid is specified and not left as a name. Also two statements that can be uncommented for debugging were added so that future development work on this code would be easier to do.

* useradd-staticids: Fix groupadd when --user-group is selectedMark Hatle2014-02-111-20/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When --user-group is selected (it's on by default as well) we want to translate that to a groupname and disable the --user-group. Before we just disabled --user-group, but didn't always add the group to the system. This change ensures that we add the group (as long as we have enough information to actually add the group), and we disable --user-group in that case. If a static groupid is not specified we continue to use the groupname, but via an explicit groupadd.

* useradd.bbclass: Add ability to select a static uid/gid automaticallyMark Hatle2014-02-091-0/+259
[YOCTO #5436] Automatic selection of static uid/gid is needed for a dynamically generated passwd and group file to have a deterministic outcome. When a package is installed and instructs the system to add a new user or group, unless it selects a static uid/gid value, the next available uid/gid will be used. The order in which packages are installed is dynamically computed, and may change from one installation to the next. This results in a non-deterministic set of uid/gid values. Enabling this code by adding USERADDEXTENSION = "useradd-staticids", and adding a preconfigured passwd/group file will allow the continued dynamic generation of the rootfs passwd/group files, but will ensure a deterministic outcome. (Dynamic generation is desired so that users and groups that have no corresponding functionality are not present within the final system image.) The rewrite params function will override each of the fields in the useradd and groupadd calls with the values specified. Note, the password field is ignored as is the member groups field in the group file. If the field is empty, the value will not be overridden. (Note, there is no way to 'blank' a field, as this would only generally affect the 'comment' field and there really is no reason to blank it.) Enabling USERADD_ERROR_DYNAMIC will cause packages without static uid/gid to generate an error and be skipped for the purpose of building. This is used to prevent non-deterministic behavior. USERADD_UID_TABLES and USERADD_GID_TABLES may be used to specify the name of the passwd and group files. By default they are assumed to be 'files/passwd' and 'files/group'. Layers are searched in BBPATH order.
