Hi,

just a small update on this. systemd git master has the needed support
to reproduce the base-passwd passwd and group files now. The sysuers.d
conf file for this looks like this:

   https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.input

and it generates output like this:

   https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.expected-passwd
   https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/test/TEST-21-SYSUSERS/test-5.expected-group

The only remaining problem is that it generates /sbin/nologin which we
do not have (we use /usr/sbin/nologin). But IMO that is not a blocker
we could make it a problem of the user (by recommending to the users
to create a symlink) - it may go away if UsrMerge takes off.

Cheers,
 Michael
