Hello
What's the root login password for a newly installed sbs-k2, cdk 2.0,
target login? The final paragraph of the sbs-k2
installation section (in the pdf) says to login, but doesn't specify a
password for root.
I installed the cd and when I try to login to a nfs root mounted partition,
I get a login prompt, but I can't login.
My installation doesn't have a /..../target/etc/passwd file, which leads
me to believe I missed something during
the install. However, I searched the CD for rpm's and none of them
owns/supplies the /.../target/etc/passwd file.
Am I supposed to modify the inittab on the host machine so it boots single
user mode and create the /etc/password
file by hand, modify the inittab for multiuser mode and then reboot?
Also, when am I going to get a hardhat zone login id? I am sure MVista has
a FAQ which addresses this issue.

There is no root password by default. Normally you type root and you
are logged in.. (Security hole? for a desktop/workstation distro yes,
but not for an embedded distro!)

Sounds like the install did not work. (Did you use the installer?) The
"base-passwd" package controls the password files. It installs a
passwd/group template into (target filesystem) /usr/share/base-passwd
and then proceeds to copy them over into /etc/passwd,group. This is
done in case you already have an /etc/passwd,group so that it will not
be over written, but "upgraded".

If you are a paying customer, contact your support representative, and
not the linuxppc-embedded list as they have nothing to do with our
product.
