I've encountered problem that BusyBox 1.18.4 'passwd' module does create/update passwords in /etc/shadow file but does not put 'x' in /etc/passwd after login name to be able to login using this password if there was no password before ('login::..').

'passwd' command on Debian or Ubuntu does handle it this way that does not update /etc/shadow but writes encrypted password into /etc/passwd in such case, althrough IMO it's not good either when the /etc/shadow file exists.
