Subject: [PATCH 2/2] commands: passwd: suggest sandbox for offline password generation
Date: Mon, 21 Oct 2019 14:20:47 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191021122047.12204-2-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191021122047.12204-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>

Users might want to generate the password while the target is offline.
We don't provide a dedicated host tool for that, but barebox sandbox can
be used. Document this possibility.

While at it, remove a misplaced single quite and slash in the help text.
