Remote login using dropbear: what am I doing wrong? [SOLVED]

[PingPing]

I've got dropbear running on 192.168.3.254 but I can't login:

Code: [Select]

n00b@netbook:~$ ssh tc@192.168.3.254

Secure login powered by Dropbear SSH server.
tc@192.168.3.254's password:
Permission denied, please try again.
tc@192.168.3.254's password: I'm just hitting RETURN at the password prompt (/etc/shadow suggests tc doesn't have a password).  Obviously I'm doing something really gimp but I can't think what.  Any suggestions?

It's possible dropbear doesn't allow empty-password logins. What happens if you give user tc a password?

[PingPing]

Yeah, that works.  Thanks.
How do I make the password change permanent (ie. survive a reboot)?

[curaga]

By adding /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow to your backup (ie the list at /opt/.filetool.lst)

Doh!  **bangs head against wall**

I've done it now and my TCL-powered home webserver is running A-OK.
Thanks for the help!
