Description

It's unclear why, but the root login is not working. There is a valid /etc/password file and a valid /etc/shadow but when you type root at the login prompt it just pauses for a moment and then says invalid login.

I think this is the securetty issue raising its ugly head again. I need to include the tty in /etc/securetty. When I switched to 2.6.36 the port name changed so I changed the skeleton file for this to use ttyO2. Now it needs to be changed back to ttyS2.

Verified. Added ttyS{0,1,2} to securetty and verified the login works. Added to skeleton file. Just need to verify a rootfs rebuild picks it up.
