I'm attempting to go through the BYOlinux.org tutorial, and I've hit a block
with sulogin and /etc/passwd. I copied the passwd and group from my existing
system (with a changed root password) after disabling shadow, and got these:
/etc/passwd:
root:$1$OHnlSueK$mktz9oz1VEGSa4nXd5Cs50:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
/etc/group:
root::0:root
When I try to boot the setup, sulogin gives me an error saying it cannot open
the password database. I got the above files from a RedHat 7.1 distro, could
it maybe use md5 or some other crypto method? Just for reference, the
password contained in the above string is simply "foo". Sulogin is from
sysvinit 2.82 distribution, which I compiled statically.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Patrick Lang
