When trying to automate user mangement on my tp2 bmc interfaces i found a lack of a couple functionalities that would make things much easier and less error prone.
The first is the
CONFIG_CHPASSWD=y
busybox config which add thechpasswd
utility which allows changing user password from scripts much better than justpasswd
.The other is
CONFIG_FEATURE_ADDUSER_TO_GROUP
busybox config option to update group memebership with the commandadduser <user> <group>
.Also added the
CONFIG_FEATURE_DEL_USER_FROM_GROUP
option just as additional benefit, but not needed for my purposes.Image size comparison

Seems to be identical but I am unfamiliar how these are packed. If there is a better way at judging the rom space increase please let me know.
