Comment (by hnyman):
I now updated from 45031 to 45052 and lost the password again. After
sysupgrade the dates of passwd and shadow do not match:
{{{
root@OpenWrt:/etc# ls -l passwd shadow
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 190 Oct 24 19:39 passwd
-rw------- 1 root root 115 Oct 24 17:14 shadow
}}}
I have a theory that this was caused by r43017 and has already been fixed
with r43041. The passwd disappears if you sysupgrade from 43017-43040.
(Around 43017 there were several intertwined tweaks to the scripts. So it
may also have been one of the other related check-ins)
Jow comments in r43041:
{{{
Changeset r43017 reworked the ipkg control metadata generation but broke
the export of conffiles, postinst and prerm defines.
Change the code back to rely on shvar and shexport, this is required to
properly output multiline contents.
}}}
I suppose that somehow the definition of "conffiles to keep" of the base-
files package does not properly include /etc/shadow. Support for shadow
has been added later, and it is probably not defined quite that deeply in
the code as /etc/passwd is.
