[warning] adduser 3.130 breaks remastering - sid repos

[anticapitalista]

Thanks @dolphin_oracle - much appreciated.

@anticapitalista @Adrian ok anti is correct, at least partitially.

I can add and remove users if I don't check remove home folder, but the default shell is given as /usr/sbin/nologin. home folder removal fails because --force is no longer a valid parameter

the entry in /etc/passwd created by mx-user looks like this on bookworm:

Code: Select all

fred:x:1001:1001:fred,,,:/home/fred:/usr/sbin/nologin

so yes, we need to make a modification similar to mx-remaster. we need the shell as defined by DSHELL in /etc/adduser.conf and we need to set it manually with --shell "$DEF_SHELL" like we do in installed-to-live. this gets around the changes made to the --disabled-login switch.

@anticapitalista @Adrian will have PR shortly to work on both bullseye and bookworm

Fix works - many thanks

Fix works - many thanks

changing default shell e.g. to /bin/fish, would still create new user with bash as default shell.
also handling of future deprecated adduser options needed some adjustments...
some changes added - send a PR to mx-adduser at github
