<HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Re: Can you set a blank root passwd with a kickstart file?</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> I don’t believe so, but you could stick a ‘passwd –d root’ in the ‘<post>’ section of your Kickstart file to clobber it during the tail end of installation. cheers, Klaus On 6/25/08 2:30 PM, "niall el-assaad" <niallel@gmail.com>did etch on stone tablets: <BLOCKQUOTE>Hi, Is there a way of setting the "rootpw" entry so that there is no root password. I want to make the iso install completely and then ask the user to change the root password on first login. So they would just enter login: root then it will ask them to change their password. I can get the second part to happen with "chage -d0 root" in the %post section, but can't get it to install without a password in the first place. If I leave out the rootpw entry it asks me to enter one as part of anaconda. Is there some switch I can use with the rootpw entry to not have a password? thanks, niall <HR ALIGN=CENTER SIZE="3" WIDTH="95%">_______________________________________________ Kickstart-list mailing list Kickstart-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/kickstart-list </BLOCKQUOTE> </BODY> </HTML>
