There are certain programs which need the information that is stored in 'struct passwd'. This commit introduces configurable user information support to NOUX. One can set the user information via <user> in NOUX config: ! <config> ! <user name="baron" uid="1" gid="1"> ! <shell name="/bin/bash" /> ! <home name="/home" /> ! </user> ! [...] ! </config> When <user> is not specified default values are used. Currently these are 'root', 0, 0, '/bin/bash', '/'. Note: this is just a single user implementation because each Noux instance has only one user or rather one identity and there will be no complete multi-user support in Noux. If you need different users, just start new Noux instances for each of them.
This directory contains ports of popular 3rd-party applications to Genode. The 'ports' repository follows the line of the 'libports' repository. For instructions about downloading and building 3rd-party applications, please refer to 'libports/README'. Dependencies from other repositories ------------------------------------ Application provided by the 'ports' repository typically expect a rich runtime environment, including shared libraries provided by the 'libports' repository. Hence, 'ports' depends on 'libports'. Furthermore, applications may require additional repositories. For example, the Arora web browser depends on the 'qt4' repository.
