I can bypass this issue by dropping a 'passwd' command into the following path "/root/live-build-config/kali-config/common/includes.chroot/lib/live/config", but I'd still like to understand why the account is being disabled in the first place. Combined with auto-login being set for root, it would explain why I can get in initially, but not once the system has been locked. My understanding is that a '*' in the first line of the /etc/shadow file means that root is disabled from logging on. ( Edit 1: After a clean boot from the ISO, I've run the following commands. At first I thought the distro had moved away from 'toor', but I wasn't able to find any associated documentation. The issue is that when the lockscreen is displayed, it refuses to accept my credentials. When booting the ISO, again all is fine and I can reach the environment and interact with it from within the root account which automatically logs in. ![]() The build process completes without any obvious error. I'm experiencing a new and strange issue with my latest custom image - any assistance would be appreciated.
