Removing debug-tweaks removes /etc/shadow

Removing debug-tweaks removes /etc/shadow

[Mike Looijmans]

I have an unsolved mystery here.

If I build an image with "debug-tweaks" in [EXTRA_]IMAGE_FEATURES, I get a 
normal image, where logging in as root works as expected.

If i replace "debug-tweaks" with other options, for example one of these:
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "empty-root-password allow-empty-password 
allow-root-login post-install-logging"
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "empty-root-password allow-root-login"


That first variant should be equal to "debug-tweaks" according to the 
descriptions in core-image.bbclass and rootfs-postcommands.bbclass.


However, the end result is that the image ends up without /etc/shadow and 
though one can log in as root, the system doesn't actually seem to know who 
you are, so "root" does not appear in the prompt, "~" does not match 
"/homw/root", and UID 0 does not match "root".

It's a total mystery to me how "debug-tweaks" has any effect on that.

I'm currently using langdale branch and initscripts.


Any thoughts?
