Fix Version: 6.0.0.17
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 6
Component/s: Userspace
in wrlinux 6, it is not possible to add groups with uppercase names, as follows:
Wind River Linux 6.0.0.13 qemu0 console
qemu0 login: root
Password:
root@qemu0:~# groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE
groupadd: 'PIETJE' is not a valid group name
root@qemu0:~# groupadd -g 1234 pietje
root@qemu0:~#
in wrlinux 4.x this was possible
Wind River Linux glibc_std (standard) 4.3
root@localhost:/root> groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE
root@localhost:/root>
1. configure & build a project based on:
--enable-board=qemux86 --enable-rootfs=glibc_std --enable-kernel=standard --enable-parallel-pkgbuilds=9 --enable-jobs=9 --enable-reconfig --enable-stand-alone-project=yes --enable-checkout-all-layers
2. boot the qemu machine and try:
groupadd -g 1234 PIETJE
