adduser-novaboot - create user account for use with novaboot's --ssh option
adduser-novaboot --key KEY [--admin-id NAME] [adduser options] user
adduser-novaboot is a wrapper of adduser(8) command that simplifies creation of user accounts for novaboot's --ssh option. The created account has its shell set to novaboot-shell(1). The command also creates a template of the configuration file, sets up administrator's SSH key in authorized_keys(5) prepares directories and symlinks that for integration with TFTP server.
When your system uses systemd(1), you can configure a systemd service to automatically power-off the target after a timeout. See novaboot-delayed-power-off in novaboot-shell(1).
