system/skeleton: use uid/gid 65534 for nobody/nogroup

2016-08-26T13:39:42+00:00

As recently discussed on lwn.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/695478/ The kernel has special behaviour for uid/gid 65534: 1. The kernel maps UIDs > 65535 to it when some subsystem/API/fs only supports 16bit UIDs, but a 32bit UID is passed to it. 2. it's used by the kernel's user namespacing as the internal UID that external UIDs are mapped to that don't have any local mapping. 3. It's used by NFS for all user IDs that cannot be mapped locally if UID mapping is enabled. Most distributions already map (or are in the progress of changing) nobody/nogroup to the 65534 uid/gid, so lets do so as well.

system/skeleton: remove spurious group 'nobody'

2014-07-23T21:39:02+00:00

We define the two groups 'nobody' and 'nogroup' in our skeleton, but they have the same gid, which is not valid. This breaks the mkuser script, as noticed by Thomas. Anyway, the user 'nobody' belongs to the group 'nogroup' in any sane distribution. So, just remove the spurious 'nobody' group. Signed-off-by: "Yann E.

Remove user "default"

User "default" with no password has been around for long time, but not used within buildroot. Since we now have BR2_ROOTFS_USERS_TABLES it is no longer needed. Signed-off-by: Stephan Hoffmann Acked-by: "Yann E. MORIN" Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard

group file: define groups expected by udev

2013-08-01T06:06:22+00:00

udev-182 requires several groups to be resolvable at udev startup, including disk, cdrom, floppy, tape, audio, video, lp, tty, dialout, and kmem. Only some of these are in the default skeleton's group file, So let's add the missing groups, and plugdev too. This avoids getting these logs in /var/logs/messages: Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'dialout' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'kmem' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'video' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'lp' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'floppy' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'cdrom' unknown Jan 1 00:00:08 buildroot daemon.err udevd[37]: specified group 'tape' unknown Signed-off-by: Danomi Manchego Acked-by: Arnout Vandecappelle (Essensium/Mind) Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni
