I've just completed an jhalfs (latest development version) script of LFS-SVN20100506. No errors were reported so I moved on to setting the root password, editing /etc files, etc.
I entered to the chroot using the command in section 6.4, but when I try and set the root password I get this: root:/# passwd root Changing password for root Enter the new password (minimum of 5 characters) Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers. Bad password: too short. Warning: weak password (enter it again to use it anyway). passwd: password changed. The problem is I am not being prompted to enter a password. The command runs and terminates immediately with the above output. The password appears to be set (to what I do not know): root:/# passwd -S root root P 05/18/2010 0 99999 7 -1 root:/# cat /etc/passwd root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash bin:x:1:1:bin:/dev/null:/bin/false nobody:x:99:99:Unprivileged User:/dev/null:/bin/false Can anybody guide me in the right direction on how to correct this so I can set a root password? Thanks, Mac
