I run Void on all my machines and love its simplicity and ease of use. Today I discovered Split and I must say I am very impressed by all the work you have put into it. Wanting to learn how it works I mounted the ISO file locally and dug through create_void_container but could not find where the magic happens that makes a user who logs in to land inside a container rather than the host machine.

Does just copying the content of /etc/shadow do some magic here? Any hint would be very welcome, thanks in advance.

    xinit will be run upon login by the /etc/profile.d/fork_into_container.sh script
