Hi guys
I'm building a LFS based system and there is one thing I want to do and
I've looked everywhere except here. I hope someone knows the answer :)
I have compiled agetty and login from Util-Linux and PAM support is
disabled.
I have an init script that simply starts /bin/bash and gives me a
prompt. I then tell it to run agetty which in turns spawns login.
I have an /etc/passwd that looks like this: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
Yet I get prompted for a password when I type in root.
Can anyone get me logged in the simplest and easiest way or tell me why
it's not working?
Thanks so much
Why not leave it at /bin/bash? Do you mean you start agetty manually
after bash is running? Why?
In any case, I think in this setup you cannot NOT have a password
(I'd be surprised, but somebody correct me if I'm wrong -- I need to
read the shadow docs; maybe with PAM? -- need to read that too).
In any event, if you want that, plain /bin/bash already does what you
want.

Hi bjd
Thank you for that reply. The reason I need a login is because ssh
won't work if I'm not logged in as an actual user. It complains "You
don't exist, go away!"
I'm willing to use PAM if there is a simple way to include it and make
it work that way. I don't care what I need to do as long as I can get
logged in :)
I read this article and other hints and suggestions that people have
been able to login without PAM (I never compiled PAM support in and I've
read about people logging in with just /etc/passwd)

Any information that someone can provide will be much appreciated!
