            Bug ID: 15506
           Summary: Failed to login to system with root and its password.
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2020.02.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
                CC: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---

I am working on an emebeded system, where busybox is used as init and shell.

The rootfs is built on X86 host with buildroot (2020.02.1). The buildroot is configured as follows,
BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_PASSWD_SHA256=y
# BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_PASSWD_SHA512 is not set BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_PASSWD_METHOD="sha-256"
BR2_INIT_BUSYBOX=y
......
......
BR2_TARGET_ENABLE_ROOT_LOGIN=y BR2_TARGET_GENERIC_ROOT_PASSWD="000000" BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_BUSYBOX=y

During the building of rootfs on the host, it shows following logs,
"/usr/bin/sed -i -e s,^root:[^:]*:,root:"/home/t/develop/test/project/out/product/linux_nand_5.10-eng/obj/buildroot-intermediate/host/bin/mkpasswd -m "sha-256" "000000"":, /home/t/develop/test/project/out/product/linux_nand_5.10-eng/obj/buildroot-intermediate/target/etc/shadow "

When the image and rootfs are deployed into the target board and boot up. I cannot login to system with 'root' and '000000' from serial console.

Then in adb shell, I regenerated the password of root with echo root:000000 | chpasswd -c SHA256, I can login to the system with 'root' and '000000' from serial console.

I don't know if this is a bug and how to make login with password.

Thanks,

[Buildroot] [Bug 15506] Failed to login to system with root and its password.

--- Comment #2 from wangt13 <[email protected]> ---
With lots of testing and googling, I think I fixed the issue of cannot login to busybox from serial console, by disabling 'CONFIG_USE_BB_SHADOW' in busybox-menuconfig.

From it help text, it seemed that using internal shadow can save disk space. But enabling it cause me not to login to system.

Is there any further infor on this option and its impact?

Thanks,
