Hey all, 

 

I'm trying to change a user password here. I've got busybox up and running with the passwd app. However, when I envoke this command it prompts for the pass and the confirmation pass. After entering these the system does nothing. I can Ctrl+C out, but after doing a cat on shadow the encrypted pass hasn't changed from what it was originally. I'm logged as root too. 

 

My steps here are: 

Copy all contents of /etc to /tmp 

Assign /etc to a ramdisk 

Copy all contents from /tmp back to /etc 

Run busybox passwd on user 

 

Any ideas as to what I'm running into here? Thanks again! 

Matt
