how to run busybox to ask "user name" and "password" in console?

[stanliao]

Dear Sir,

 

We would like to run ftp and http servers on our arm-linux. Busybox is also
used in our

system. The ftp server we use is pure-ftpd, and we use the so called virtual
user account

provided by pure-ftpd. It's strange that if the home directory of some
virtual user is created

in an FAT32 partition disk, this user can't put files; if the home directory
of some virtual user

is created in an EXT2 partition disk, both put and get work. I just wonder
whether or not this

is because that we didn't do any normal account managements. So, I'd like
ask for help.

 

The content of "/etc/inittab" and "/etc/init.d/rcS" file are:

 

"/etc/inittab"

 

::sysinit:/etc/init.d/rcS

ttyAM0::respawn:-/bin/sh

 

 

 

"/etc/init.d/rcS"

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/sbin:usr/bin:$PATH

Mount -t proc proc /proc

mount -oremount /dev/root /

 

 

1.      If I would like to ask user name/password to login through console,
how should I revise these files?

2.      Is there any tool for me to generate "/etc/passwd" and
password-related files offline?

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

 

Best Regards,

Stan Liao
