[13:42] <bgardner> Just 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-armel
[13:43] <bgardner> It's technically for armel but worked perfectly for armhf.
[13:43] <ogra_> you would simply boot and run adduser ...
[13:44] <bgardner> ogra_: 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 root
[13:44] <ogra_> without password iirc
[13:44] <ogra_> thats enough to log in and run adduser
[13:46] <bgardner> ogra_: Just checked it, root is (as ever for Ubuntu) not possible to log into.
[13:47] <ogra_> then you just need to drop the exclamation mark from /etc/shadow on the Sd
[13:47] <bgardner> ogra_: 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 password
[13:48] <bgardner> ogra_: 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?
[13:49] <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] <bgardner> ogra_: Thanks, I'll try it out on a server I'm building next week.
