[Ltib] LTIB adduser best practice

[Arnaud Derasse]

Hello,

I have been using LTIB for 6 month to build the rootfs for one of our 
products. I added a lot of packages to the distribution ( Xorg, Kdrive, 
Matchbox , Glib and Gtk+ ) .
Recently I added the Dbus and Dbus-glib packages to LTIB and I am facing 
a little problem.

The DBus deamon init script need a new user to launch the daemon ( 
messagebus user and group ) . My question is : how can I do to add the 
messagebus user to the target system ? I have some ideas but I don't 
know what would be the best practice
- Using a rpm script that will add the messagebus user to the 
rootfs/etc/passwd file and the messagebus group to /etc/group.
- Adding the entry with a patch directly in the skell package.
- chroot the host system to the target rootfs directory and use the host 
adduser program in a rpm script to do the job.
- Another (unknown) way to add that user when installing the Rpm package :)

What should I do ?

Regards,

Arnaud Derasse
