Romain, All,

On 2018-01-14 22:03 +0100, Romain Naour spake thusly:
> When dash is selected, /bin/dash is not added to /etc/shells
> (see man shells). So, login tools like dropbear reject the ssh
> connexions for users using dash as shell in /etc/passwd.
> 
> buildroot authpriv.warn dropbear[853]: User 'kubu' has invalid shell, rejected

Very unlikely, but what if there already is a shell named /bin/dashfoo ?
You should make sure to also match the end of the line (double-dollar
because of make...):

    grep -qsE '^/bin/dash$$'

Note: comment valid for all the patches in the series, of course...

And now that I re-read your bash patch, I missed it during the review.
Or I did suggest you do, but you missed it, and then I missed it in the
second review...
