Description Ivailo 2014-08-13 16:18:41 UTC 
The implementation of chpasswd found in the shadow source
support -R or --root argument that is used as a chroot
shortcut to be able to change user passwords in different
root directory than the current one.

Having this implemented in Busybox's chpasswd would be nice.
