Hi!

I'm trying to port a LEAF bering based project to gentoo-embedded. There
is a web based UI (using haserl.sourceforge.net) to change password. The
code to change the root password looks something like this:

          newrootpw=$(crypt sN "$root1")
                awk '
                   BEGIN{
                        FS=":";
                        OFS=":";
                        }
                   /^root:/{
                        $2="'"$newrootpw"'";
                        }
                   {print;}
                ' /etc/shadow > /tmp/shadow

                mv /tmp/shadow /etc/shadow


The problem I have now is that I cannot find the crypt(1) command, nor a
replacement in portage tree. I wonder if anyone has a suggestion how to
change passwords from a (web) script? I'm using busybox/uclibc.

Thanks!
