The liveuser user isn't created until the system boots so you need to
put your usermod after the useradd in the livesys script.
I ended up taking that approach of putting the usermod command right after the useradd in
fedora-live-base.ks for the time being. However, with your explanation above I understand
better when liveuser is created. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys does the useradd when the
machine starts up. So should be able to do something like the following in
fedora-live-stap.ks to add the command and reuse the existing .ks files:
%post
cat >> /etc/rc.d/init.d/livesys << EOF
# add fedora user to SystemTap groups
usermod -a -G stapusr,stapdev liveuser
FOE
%end
How does one get ks spin files included in the spin-kickstarts rpm?
