[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Paul Jones]

I've just built a basic buildroot for my mini2440 ARM board and it 
successfully boots to the buildroot login: prompt.
My problem is that I can't seem to login - I haven't touched any of the 
config files and looking at /etc/passwd|shadow the login should be root 
with a blank password?
I've tried to login both from the serial console (which I set in the 
buildroot menu to /dev/ttySAC0) and the normal console with a usb 
keyboard - no luck.

This is what I get when it boots:

VFS: Mounted root (yaffs filesystem) on device 31:2.
Freeing init memory: 128K
Initializing random number generator... done.
Starting network...
ip: RTNETLINK answers: File exists


Welcome to Buildroot

buildroot login: root

Right, no password, just press enter.

Are you sure that you haven't made any change to /etc/securetty ? It
must contain at least /dev/ttySAC0 to allow login as root from this
console. The default target skeleton has a /etc/securetty that
contains /dev/ttySAC0, so it should be ok, unless you made any change
to the skeleton, of course, or used a different skeleton.

[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Paul Jones]

I thought it might be something I did so I downloaded buildroot again
and recompiled without changing anything except ARCH and the serial
console port and got the same result.

[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Paul Jones]

I've narrowed down the problem.
When I compile without WCHAR I login as root and never get asked for a 
password.
When I compile with WCHAR I get the password prompt and pressing enter 
does not work.
That is using buildroot from git.

I'm still using the kernel binary that was supplied with the board, 
2.6.32.x Could that be causing the problem?

[Buildroot] Login troubles

[Robert Urban]

I seem to have the same problem...

I built with WCHAR support, and although there is no password for either 'root'
or 'default' in /etc/shadow, I can only log in as 'default'.  Here are the entries:

[shadow]
root::10933:0:99999:7:::
default::10933:0:99999:7:::

[passwd]
root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh
default:x:1000:1000:Default non-root user:/home/default:/bin/sh

I did not test with WCHAR support turned off.

cheers,

Rob Urban

Now I've got the same problem back again - I don't know what I did!
Using default doesn't work for me.
