[Error] Unable to create rootfull container when user is handled by systemd-homed

[fcrozat]

Describe the bug
When user is handled by systemd-homed, rootfull container can't be created.

To Reproduce
on MicroOS Desktop/Aeon, with podman:

distrobox create --pull --root --init --unshare-all --image registry.opensuse.org/opensuse/distrobox:latest --name foobar
distrobox-enter --root foobar

Logs
foobar.log

Hi @fcrozat!

does this happen with rootless too?

Also can you share the content of /etc/nsswitch.conf of the host and the container?
it should have references to systemd

Also it would be useful to have the content of /etc/passwd of the container

Thanks!

In the meantime I've added a fallback that manipulates /etc/shadow directly to initialize the user in the container, this should now work

Let me know if there are still issues 👍
