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 tried "passwd" but the same thing happened. I uninstalled cracklib and
shadow, rebuilt shadow from scratch (including removing the source and
unpacking again), but the same thing happened.
I also tried disabling shadow passwords and running it again, but no matter
what I did, passwd never asked for input.
There were one or two unexpected failures in the gcc test suite, but nothing
"vastly different" from the normal results - both were probably a result of
the battery hitting critical and hibernating.
I am uncertain, but I may have restarted after I started Chapter 6 and
forgotten to rerun the "mount" commands. Would that cause this?
Yes. If you shut down the system and start up again, you must manually
mount the virtual file systems in sections 6.2.2 and 6.2.3. Note that you
can do this from the host after you have entered chroot. Just open
another terminal on the host system.
