Also after calling passwd, only #passwd Changing password for root Bad password: too short. Warning: weak password (continuing). Password changed. # appears. I think something necessary isn't on the filesystem, but I don't know what! >>> Goddeeris Frederic 12/13/01 13:57 PM >>> I suppose you now have a /etc/passwd that does not specify any password for root. So it is normal it does not ask for one when logging in, telnet to it or change the pw. "root" as pw is too small, take something different but when you insist and enter it a second time it should accept it... telnet otncllf Trying 193.210.198.203... Connected to otncllf.atea.be.

But when I try passwd and enter for example root I get the error message to short. It didn't ask me for any old or new password, only it is to shoort. Also if I do telnet, it won't ask for any password only login I enter root, thats it! So what do I need? jffs2: I didn't make tests with heavy load, I only copy some files to the disk and start it there. This I will do in January. Gerhard >>> Goddeeris Frederic 12/13/01 11:07 AM >>> My experience is that you need to include a lot of things for the login. I used TinyLogin. This will provide everything you need (I also used Busybox) In /etc/inittab I added ttyS0::respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 9600 vt100 /sbin/getty points to TinyLogin getty -> ../bin/tinylogin You have good experience with JFFS2? What version do you use? Fred -----Original Message----- From: Gerhard TAEUBL To: linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org Sent: 12/13/01 10:49 AM Subject: Password for embedded Linux Hi! We use HHL1.2 filesystem for a MPC860. Meanwhile everthing works fine :-) (serial port, jffs2 and so on). I've made a initrd to boot the system and mount 4MB Flash where the project related data and programs will be copied. So we could use for nearly every project the same image, and store the data afterwards via ftp. O.K. but we want to use a password to login, and I didn't find any hint to do that! So if you have any ideas... Thanks in advance Gerhard ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
