Whilst my Aura H2O was attached to a serial console, amongst the many messages output I noticed a login prompt pass by.
Poking around on an SD card image I notice that there is a passwd file in /rootfs/etc with the following content:

Code:

root::0:0:root:/:/bin/sh
ftp::14:50:FTP User:/var/ftp:
bin:*:1:1:bin:/bin:
daemon:*:2:2:daemon:/sbin:
messagebus:*:30:30:messagebus::/bin/false
nobody:*:99:99:Nobody:/:
admin:$1$$CoERg7ynjYLsj2j4glJ34.:0:0:Linux User,,,:/home/admin:/bin/sh

Does anybody know if these accounts are used? If so what might the passwords be, presumably they are the same for all Kobos as they only relate to using the console.
If I ever get my Aura to work again I will need to do some stuff via the serial console, so it would be useful to know the root/admin logins.
