Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!
My fault. I will write down the new committers instructions 100 times as penalty. OK?
But back to the problem. It was reportet as bug 4808 (see http://bugs.openembedded.net/show_bug.cgi?id=4808) on November the 6th. Busybox 1.11.3 for Angstrom is build with shadow support, but Angstrom does not install /etc/shadow. This results in problems when calling the passwd command. Earlier busybox versions do not enable shadow support for Angstrom.
I see two possible solutions:
1. the patch i committed illegaly
2. install /etc/shadow and fully support it (i believe ther is something more to do here)
Regards,
Steffen
