I'm building somewhat of a strange livecd and I cannot figure out how to
get logged in.
My init actually just starts the bash shell.
From there I want to figure out how to login.
I have compiled login from util-linux and I have an /etc/passwd that
looks like: "root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash"
When I type "login -f root" I am still prompted for a password and
cannot login even with a blank password. (I did not enable shadow in MCONF)
I did not compile util-linux with PAM support so I'm not sure what is wrong.
If anyone has more information on how I would be able to get logged in I
would appreciate it.
I found this
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/From-PowerUp-To-Bash-Prompt-HOWTO-10.html but it
doesn't have the information I need.
Many thanks in advance!
