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
