Is this still on the table for fixing in 2.4? 77137 4 stephano 2017-09-26 13:26:12 +0000 I believe the window for 2.4M4 has closed though I will discuss this with the team today. If it is possible to include this in 2.4 I'll get it submitted today. 77180 5 stephano 2017-09-27 21:34:33 +0000 Moving this to 2.5M1. I will backport to Rocko (2.4.1) if needed. 96881 6 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:36 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 105947 7 randy.macleod 2026-06-18 15:29:51 +0000 Himani - please take a look and see if you can retest. 106039 8 HimaniRamesh.Barde 2026-06-29 12:41:58 +0000 Retested on openembedded-core master branch. The original issue has been fixed by commit 0c7e76df68 ("rootfs-postcommands: change sysusers.d command", 2023-06-15) by Louis Rannou. The old systemd_create_users function, which created users/groups at rootfs time without checking static IDs, has been completely replaced by systemd_sysusers_check. The new function does NOT create users/groups — it only validates that users/groups defined in sysusers.d/*.conf already exist in /etc/passwd and /etc/group with consistent properties. Static IDs are now enforced by useradd-staticids.bbclass at recipe parse time, before any user creation occurs. The rootfs postprocess step just verifies consistency afterward. A follow-up commit 2a700c3102 (2023-12-27) further relaxed the check to ignore comment mismatches. This bug can be marked as RESOLVED/FIXED. 106040 9 randy.macleod 2026-06-29 14:07:48 +0000 As per Himani's comment. Stephano, re-open if you disagree.
