Hi
I am preparing a kickstart cfg file for RHEL4.  I would like to encrypt
the root password using md5.  

"rootpw --iscrypted xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

What is the recommended method for creating the MD5 hash to use in the
above line in the cfg file?

I checked the RH docs for kickstart but did not find anything pertaining
to this. 

Thanks for any suggestions.

Jim
