Hi.

I have busybox version 1.0. Shell seems OK and all the stuff I've played
with seems to work, except for the users and groups:

#   rm /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group
#   rmdir /root
#   touch /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/group
#   adduser -h /root root
passwd: unknown uid 0

Any tips?

Thanks,
Michael
