bgardnerJust to follow up on my own question (how to add a user to the Ubuntu Core Rootfs), I found a solution that worked great here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/216621/how-to-add-user-to-separate-filesystem-armel13:42
bgardnerIt's technically for armel but worked perfectly for armhf.13:43
ogra_you would simply boot and run adduser ...13:43
bgardnerogra_: Yeah, nothing 'simple' about it, or wasn't for me anyway.  The Core rootfs doesn't have any users defined.13:44
ogra_it has root13:44
ogra_without password iirc13:44
ogra_thats enough to log in and run adduser13:44
bgardnerogra_: Just checked it, root is (as ever for Ubuntu) not possible to log into.13:46
ogra_then you just need to drop the exclamation mark from /etc/shadow on the Sd13:47
bgardnerogra_: Boy wouldn't that have made me mad if it had worked though...13:47
ogra_that should be enough to let you in as root without password13:47
bgardnerogra_: The link I mentioned solved it for me, but I'll make a note about /etc/shadow for any future images.  Nothing else should need to be changed?13:48
ogra_that should be it ...13:49
ogra_you will indeed need to set up your network after first boot and likely want to apt-get a bit of stuff (like vi or nano)13:49
bgardnerogra_: Thanks, I'll try it out on a server I'm building next week.13:49
