From e8c06fac97f56ccc710584731d8b52ed58fbd2dd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel J Walsh Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2021 09:24:24 -0500 Subject: Allow users to add host user accounts to /etc/passwd Some containers require certain user account(s) to exist within the container when they are run. This option will allow callers to add a bunch of passwd entries from the host to the container even if the entries are not in the local /etc/passwd file on the host.
