Are you also using the stable book ? That's generally believed to
be free of serious errors (I think there was one thinko in my ppc64
instructions that has come to light). It's a _very_ long time since
I needed to use 'less' during the build (I now build in an xterm,
using the tools on the host to diagnose problems, and on the rare
occasions that I've followed the 'boot' method I included 'vim' and
used that to look at files), but passwd *ought* to work - if it
didn't, getting in to the built system would be interesting.
Actually, I vaguely remember problems with passwd in the past -
either my commands for 'shadow' didn't match the book, or I had
missed the patch. Or, perhaps it was one of the old versions of
shadow where grpconv and pwconv didn't always work - looking at my
buildscripts, I switched to unconditionally running those commands
without the '&&' in February 06 and I've never changed back. If you
type the commands in by hand, it shouldn't make a difference, but
it's the sort of thing that can fubar a script. Also, check that
there aren't lock files for group or passwd left behind in
/var/lock.
