Introduction to Libuser

The libuser library implements a standardized interface for manipulating and administering user and group accounts. The library uses pluggable back-ends to interface to its data sources.

Extracting the RPM

An extracted package can be downloaded from: http://cross-lfs.org/~jciccone/libuser-0.56.16.tar.gz

rpm2cpio Method

Make sure that you have rpm2cpio and Cpio installed.

rpm2cpio libuser-0.56.16-2.src.rpm | cpio -d -i

disrpm Method

Make sure you have Cpio and a hexdump utility installed. Download bjdouma's disrpm script from http://www.xs4all.nl/~bjdouma/disrpm and use it to extract the rpm. This script also extracts *.deb packages.

wget http://www.xs4all.nl/~bjdouma/disrpm &&
mv -v disrpm /usr/bin &&
chmod +x /usr/bin/disrpm &&
disrpm -x libuser-0.56.16-2.src.rpm

Both methods will create 2 files. libuser-0.56.16.tar.gz and libuser.spec. It is safe to delete libuser.spec
