Title: user=bootcode enhanced by uid and gid
Post by: netnomad on March 02, 2015, 01:07:27 PM

hello friends,

for compatibility-reasons it would be great to offer a bootcode
that either provides an alternative user with a pre-set uid and gid f.e. user=user:1001:100
or
that overwrites the uid and gid of the user tc f.e. user=tc:1001:100

in the moment my files on my ext4-partition are only readable by root, otherwise i need to chown them.

f.e. tc has the uid 1000
f.e. the first user in debian starts with the uid 1001

thank you for your interest.

Just add your own users and backup
/etc/passwd
/etc/shadow
/etc/group
/etc/gshadow
