However we are able to change the root password untill we add the pam_ldap or pam_radius modules to the pam stack. After this changing the root password results in the "passwd: User not known to the underlying authentication module" message. Before running pwconv most system users (like ftp) have '*' in the password field while others (like rpm) have '!!'. The root password is encrypted in the /etc/passwd file at this time. After running pwconv the /etc/shadow is created and the password field is set to 'x' for all users (as expected). Changing the root password works again after this change. Is this an issue with the pam_ldap and pam_radius modules? Or does the fact that no /etc/shadow exists after kickstarting the server indicate that the '--enablemd5 --enableshadow' options are ignored?

I've checked that the SSL certificate is "valid" (or rather, has the same md5sum as the cert distributed in new-cert.sh[1]). I'm a little worried about this, and am not really sure what's causing it - any suggestions? Cheers, Alex.

Is your system configured to talk directly to RHN of does it go through an RHN proxy server or a Satellite server?

Looks like our CheckPoint fw was capturing the packet, mangling it, and returning something that wasn't the valid cert!

They have long (but descriptive :) ) names. They will work in either RHN hosted or on a Satellite (note that they don't make use of the new 5.1 Satellite APIs.) 1) list-all-errata-and-affected-systems.py https://rhn-satellite.108.redhat.com/svn/rhnsat/trunk/api-script-examples/list-all-errata-and-affected-systems.py This will spit out a list of all errata across your channels with a list of affected systems per errata. The format of the output is something like this: Channel #1: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 32-bit x86) * Total Errata: 315 * Errata: * Errata #1: Skipping erratum RHSA-2008:0489 because it has no affected systems. * Errata #2: * Advisory: RHSA-2008:0275 * Type: Security Advisory * Issue date: 2008-05-20 00:00:00 * Synopsis: Important: kernel security and bug fix update * Affected Systems (1 system(s) affected): * System 1 * System Name: tsukushi * System ID: 1007366565 2) list-all-systems-with-some-details.py https://rhn-satellite.108.redhat.com/svn/rhnsat/trunk/api-script-examples/list-all-systems-with-some-details.py This will spit out a list of all registered systems in your account. The output is something like below (a bit less neat than the errata script.) You have to provide the script an extra parameter, 'chunk size', which is how many systems at a time the script will retrieve before sleeping for a bit and continuing. I think if you set it to 50 you should be fine. If you notice the script timing out, set this value to be lower. *************** NEW SYSTEM *************** **** SYSTEM BASIC DETAILS **** System ID: 1005766736 System Name: test profile - 21069 **** SYSTEM ENTITLEMENT DETAILS **** Entitlement: enterprise_entitled Entitlement: provisioning_entitled **** SYSTEM SOFTWARE CHANNEL DETAILS **** Base Channel ID: 54 Base Channel Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1 for i386) Base Channel Label: redhat-advanced-server-i386 Channel ID: 247 Channel Name: Red Hat Network Proxy (v1.1 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel Label: redhat-rhn-proxy-as-i386-2.1 Channel Summary: Red Hat Network Proxy (v1.1 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel ID: 1491 Channel Name: Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL 2.1 AS (i386) Channel Label: rhn-tools-rhel-2.1-as-i386 Channel Summary: Red Hat Network Tools for RHEL 2.1 AS (i386) Channel ID: 1713 Channel Name: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.2 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel Label: redhat-rhn-proxy-3.2-as-i386-2.1 Channel Summary: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.2 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel ID: 1757 Channel Name: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1 for x86) Beta Channel Label: rhel-i386-as-2.1-beta Channel Summary: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (v. 2.1 for x86) Beta Channel ID: 2796 Channel Name: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.6 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel Label: redhat-rhn-proxy-3.6-as-i386-2.1 Channel Summary: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.6 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel ID: 3154 Channel Name: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.7 for AS v2.1 x86) Channel Label: redhat-rhn-proxy-3.7-as-i386-2.1 Channel Summary: Red Hat Network Proxy (v3.7 for AS v2.1 x86) **** SYSTEM GROUP MEMBERSHIPS **** --- As always feel free to extend/adapt these scripts to whatever your liking/needs.
