**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Apr 02 02:59:57 2009 Apr 02 15:46:51 hmm... Have to try poking my 2nd nslu2 with serial from my ubunutu eee.. mwester, just fyi, i've got the other one out of the garage again ;) Apr 03 01:01:35 hi everyone Apr 03 01:03:02 I am not exactly using nslu2, but I do have a question concerning a patch for slugos in openembedded Apr 03 01:04:00 in the base-passwd package there is a patch which sets a default password for root Apr 03 01:04:47 is there any tool with which I can encode a custom password to put there? Apr 03 01:23:18 passwd Apr 03 01:23:52 Then copy the data to the patch. :-) Crude, but it works just fine. Apr 03 01:24:15 I did that, but I could'nt login afterwards :) Apr 03 01:24:57 Then something else is wrong, if the line ended up in the passwd file as expected (which you can check by looking at the passwd file in the .../tmp/rootfs dir. Apr 03 01:24:59 kept saying : invalid passwd Apr 03 01:25:38 jep, the line is there Apr 03 01:28:10 root:N64FHRJoVdp2:0:0:root:/home/root:/bin/sh Apr 03 01:28:58 and that string should be the encoded string 'root' (yeah, safe) Apr 03 01:29:17 Then it's something else that's the problem. Keep in mind that login is not going to tell you a lot of detail about the problem either, for security reasons. Apr 03 01:29:50 yes, I expecteed something like that **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Apr 03 02:59:56 2009
