EDIT: Booting from Harmattan and editing this shadow file shows 2 weird lines:
dbus:!!:16051::::::
sshd:!!:16051::::::

normal?

- is there any issue tracking somewhere where we can list what works and what not?
in r3 you dont need this. Go to setings -> developer mode and set password
for nemo user, then in terminal session type devel-su and type password.
