try "sudo passwd root" or "sudo passwd dsl"passwd fails because it can't write the password file. I assume because the file it's trying to write is on a read-only volume (is this correct?)
So... It looks like I need to be able to solve one of two problems: 1) Successfully set the password of dsl or root (i.e. get passwd working). 2) Allow ssh to login without using a password. This would not be my favorite option for obvious reasons.changing passwords worked in 0.7.3; I get an error in 0.8.0. Has anyone been able to set the passwords?Ah a bug in 0.8.0. Here is temporary fix.
From Xshells->Root Access # rm /etc/shadow- # cp /KNOPPIX/etc/shadow- /etc/shadow-
Now you can change the password.

Hi Robert
This bug seems to persist in 0.9.1 and 0.9.2 too. Can it be corrected in the next version please?
