Hi,
In chapter 6, I built cracklib and then installed shadow. Everything seemed
fine until I entered "passwd root". Rather than asking for input, it just put
the following on standard output:
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.
I am uncertain, but I may have restarted after I started Chapter 6 and
forgotten to rerun the "mount" commands. Would that cause this?
Help appreciated,

You need to re-run the mount of the filesystem, and also activate the
/etc/rc.d/init.d/cleanfs which creates a folder needed by shadow.
Best regards
Michael
