Any idea why it's not being set? 2. Why do I get the operation not permitted error ? 3. How do I set the UML root password ? [UML]# passwd passwd: error while loading shared libraries: libuser.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [UML]# I brought up the UML using these options - ./linux mem=128M ubd0=root_fs con0=fd:0,fd:1 con=xterm eth0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.254 Any help will be greatly appreciated.
