root@openwrt:~# uci set rpcd.@login[-1].timeout='300'
root@openwrt:~# uci add_list rpcd.@login[-1].read='*'
root@openwrt:~# uci set rpcd.@login[-1].password='$1$$whuMjZj.HMFoaTaZRRtkO0'

Does the test user exist?

I just need to create user for luci for which auth gets handled by rpcd only,
so it will not matter if user exists in passwd or not
im using luci-app-acl

Open /etc/config/rpcd in SSH and double-check that the configuration was updated with your test user correctly.

I don't think config login accepts a timeout option, although I could be mistaken. Can you remove that and see if it works?
