OpenWrt 19.07.7 r11306-c4a6851c7

I created a /etc/config/users file (below) and rebooted. The users do not show up in /etc/passwd. What am I doing wrong?

config 'user'
  option 'enabled' '1'
  option 'name' 'joshua'
  option 'password' 'ign'

config 'user'
  option 'enabled' '1'
  option 'name' 'heera'
  option 'password' 'ign'

I did not know about /etc/config/users before. From the wiki page description, likely the uci config will not be converted into /etc/passwd.

It says that "only racoon is supported", but racoon from ipsec-tools has been removed from packages feed since 2019/08. I would guess the wiki page has now staled.
