One of the issues I had was that mkpasswd was not present on my machine ("apt-get install whois" fixed that). So there is light at the end of the tunnel.(2014-08-21, 14:11)Grand Total Wrote:No, that doesn't explain it, because people with the problem actually get a login prompt from sshd so sshd is running despite what the Unix professional says. The problem seems to be related to detection of the mkpasswd function on some build platforms meaning that the /etc/shadow file containing the encrypted password for "letmein" was not created properly when built on these platforms.(2014-08-21, 11:36)Pompey Monkey Wrote: I got my brother, who is a Unix in embedded systems professional, to look at the installation of corey's previous release and he said that SSH was not even installed. No wonder people could not open a shell!That would explain it I suppose, but what I don't understand is how some people supposedly are able to login. I think I'll take a close look at the build (when I get my Ubuntu partition working again).
