Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
In the past, I had already some implementation for that, where |
| 4 |
enewuser()/enewgroup() in case of not being root (uid zero) used some |
| 5 |
'root.sh' file, containing real commands for the target-userland to be |
| 6 |
executed by real-root, as well as easy-to-parse comments containing the |
| 7 |
arguments of previous enewuser/enewgroup calls. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
What was missing there: to empty the file once it was executed by |
| 10 |
real-root user, because i had no need yet to really add the users as i |
| 11 |
did not need to start some daemons installed from prefix-portage yet. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
But i needed this temporary "passwd-database" to have egetent() |
| 14 |
recognize not-yet-physically-executed enewuser() calls in addition to |
| 15 |
real getent-calls. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
In the attached 'eutils.eclass' look for access to file |
| 18 |
'var/spool/emerge/doasroot' and calls to edoasroot(). |

PS: I'm happy to be back again to prefix-portage, currently trying to |
| 22 |
get some portage-alt-prefix packages to fly on x86-redhat-linux. |
