In Yocto ‘zeus’ , building mender-connect, I get two warnings setting the USER and SHELL variables in local.conf.

```auto
    "MENDER_CONNECT_USER" is not a recognized MENDER_ variable. Typo?
    "MENDER_CONNECT_SHELL" is not a recognized MENDER_ variable. Typo?

```

The image is built correctly and the settings from these variables are also working.  
I’m just wondering why these warnings appear ?

Hi @DSiegmund there is [a patch](https://github.com/mendersoftware/meta-mender/commit/b96f8457ee519ac70ca5de0ca83717f2b9d5e047) in master that need to be back ported to dunfell and zeus. That should take care of these warning.

@lluiscampos FYI.

Thank you Drew, I should have had a look into master branch 😉
