[Buildroot] Login with user fails

[Diego Iastrubni]

Then go back to the basics -

strace passwd
strace su random_user -c "/bin/true"

Just for the record - this is working on my fresh buildroot setup. I assume
this is something broken on your local setup - which means: it's fixable.

Cam you post the configuration which triggers this problem ?
