Description Samantha N. Bueno 2013-09-25 15:06:07 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #977732 +++

Description of problem:
Doing a minimal text install from the 19 Final RC1 DVD (either i386 or x86_64), during which I set an ordinary user password, it appears in plaintext in the kickstart file. When I did a minimal GUI install in the same way, it is encrypted. A root password is always encrypted regardless of install method. This is the first compose where I looked at the kickstart file, so I don't know when this problem started.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-19.30.11-1

How reproducible:
always

Patch pushed, commit d6601e38494ced30a4103bc82b596024d4dfe2f2 on rhel7-branch.

Comment 4 Jan Stodola 2014-01-30 09:19:21 UTC

Retested with anaconda-19.31.51-1.el7, user password as well as rootpw is encrypted in anaconda-ks.cfg after text or graphical installations.

Moving to VERIFIED.
