Quoting Ludovic Courtès <address@hidden>:
As it turns out, ?root? is initialized with an empty password, and for
other users, you shouldn?t use the ?password? field of up
?user-account?.
<https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/User-Accounts.html>
tries to make that clear, but perhaps there?s misleading info somewhere?
Ah, ok. The only reason I thought it might be wrong was because it didn't
work right away. I actually figured out the problem (the lack of a home
directory) as I was writing the email.
Also, the user?s home directory should definitely be created
automatically.
My partition layout has separate /, /home, /boot. I specified these in
config.scm, but should I have also mounted them (or at least /home) before
system init?
Thanks,
Andy
