Dustin	7c3738d067	Add set-root-password command The `set-root-password` command sets up an alternate mount namespace with a writable `/etc` directory and then runs `passwd` in it. This allows `passwd` to create its lock files and backup files, without requiring that the real `/etc` to be mutable. After `passwd` finishes and has updated its private copy of `/etc/shadow`, the script rewrites the real one with its contents.	2023-03-15 21:21:29 -05:00

Add set-root-password command

The `set-root-password` command sets up an alternate mount namespace
with a writable `/etc` directory and then runs `passwd` in it.  This
allows `passwd` to create its lock files and backup files, without
requiring that the real `/etc` to be mutable.  After `passwd` finishes
and has updated its private copy of `/etc/shadow`, the script rewrites
the real one with its contents.
