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
