First line in Password is now: root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash I omitted the x after the first :, as Bruce advised. I assume that then no password is necessary. Next I chroot as in the begin of ch.6, so that devices are loaded. Then: strace -olog.txt login The log-file gives a lot of data, but I think the most important are: ......... read(0, "root\n", 1024) (reading from the kbd) ......... open("/etc/passwd", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3 .......... read(3, "root::0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash\nb"..., 4096) = 159 ........... write(4, "Wachtwoord: ", 12) = 12 (=Password: ) read(4, "\n", 4096) = 1 (just Enter, no password necessary) write(4, "\n", 1) ........... _llseek(4, 0, 0xbfeae3e0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek) I assume the last line is the error, but I don't know what it means. If I give the password, the result is the same.
