Does busybox 1.33.x and 1.34.0 need a shadow file?
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh would imply I would.  My email entry was
incorrect, the original passwd file was not malformed, it was actually
root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh due I was not needing a shadow file and it
worked out of the box without a shadow file at least in in 1.32.1.
