Description Nolan Eakins 2007-03-09 22:54:11 UTC

I've been emerging Apache using a command like "ROOT=/livecd emerge apache" and the user "apache" hasn't been making its way into the CD's passwd file. The system's passwd file is getting an "apache" user added so my conclusion is that the "enewuser" and "enewgroup" functions don't honor the ROOT environment variable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir /livecd
2. ROOT=/livecd emerge apache
3. grep apache /livecd/etc/passwd

Actual Results:  
Nothing is found.

Expected Results:  
To have the user "apache".
