[lfs-support] passwd lfs
Now that I can mount ext4, I've created the $LFS/tools directory and a root link to it and I've created the lfs user, but now I'm getting an error when I try to create a passwd for lfs: root [ / ]# passwd lfs passwd: Module is unknown passwd: password unchanged I can login to lfs without a passwd, and I suppose I could continue with the build without a passwd.

Make sure you have tty device nodes otherwise no input will be available for passwd.

Absolutely right Bruce, thanks for picking that up. I turned on the dev
server this morning and entered the chroot but forgot to mount the
virtual file systems as well.

I think you are in chroot but do not have the virtual file systems
mounted. You need access to /dev (and perhaps /dev/pts) inside chroot
to use the passwd command. See Section 6.2.
Alternatively, I just copy /etc/{passwd,group,shadow,gshadow} from my
host to /mnt/lfs/etc. :)

[lfs-support] passwd not waiting for prompt
An interesting problem appeared during an LFS 7.3 build after the build and installation of shadow. Everything appeared successful, however when trying to set the root passwd it fails to prompt for the new passwd. It simply shows the lines below (as if a CR was hit) and returns to the prompt. root:/sources# 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. root:/sources# Any clues to further investigate this would be appreciated. - Geoff -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
