Currently, there are only two possibilities regarding the root account:
- it is enabled with no password (the default)
- it is enabled, using a clear-text, user-provided password
This is deemed insufficient in many cases, especially when the .config
file has to be published (e.g. for the GPL compliance, or any other
reason.).
Fix that in two ways:
- add a boolean option that allows/disallows root login altogether,
which defaults to 'y' to keep backward compatibility;
- accept already-encoded passwords, which we recognise as starting
with either of $1$, $5$ or $6$ (resp. for md5, sha256 or sha512).

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
- don't add a choice to select between clear-text/encoded password,
use a single prompt;
- differentiate in the password hook itself;
- rewrite parts of the help entry;
- rewrite and expand the commit log

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
