Hi Binad ,

Is it possible for you to post your comps.xml file. I am also looking to
achieve what you have already done. At present I use the modified CentOS
minimal ks.cfg file, but this is what I was looking for, package by
package control.

Regards.

Thanks to Zack & Joshua; it was indeed the missing authconfig package.
I ran:

authconfig --useshadow --kickstart

and it generated the proper /etc/shadow for me. So I have now updated my
comps.xml to include authconfig package.

My comps.xml is completely homegrown; it has just one <group> with all
the packages my server install needs (about 150 or so) and nothing more.
I had removed authconfig (in fact, removed all the
redhat-config-*/similar packages) to get to a minimal build.
