this is a known issue and was resolved via a new boot disk ... thanks for your report! please see http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHBA-2000010-01.html for details ... I'm sorry, but you're wrong, guys, in your supposition that you've resolved this bug :-( Just downloaded boot-20000407.img and copied it onto floppy disk. Tried to kickstart computer with auth/rootpw as above twice - exactly the same picture. Then tried this: auth --useshadow --enablemd5 rootpw --iscrypted $1$F3mDOWtl$0hLycXBk.40arokEzLuG11 Exactly the same!!! Encrypted password stored in /etc/passwd, and 2nd entry in /etc/shadow remains empty. This wasn't fixed by the boot disk -- sorry for the misleading response. This is still broken in 7.0 afaik. Brock, can you verify this is broken in 7.0? |
KickStart'ed with the following in my ks.cfg file (ks=floppy): auth --useshadow rootpw --iscrypted AaAUb94kU3J3w After successfull installation logged in ... without root's password. This is what I've got in passwd/shadow: # grep ^root: /etc/passwd /etc/shadow /etc/passwd:root:AaAUb94kU3J3w:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash /etc/shadow:root::11213:0:99999:7::: As workaround used the following code in ks.cfg: #----- cut here -------------------------- cp /etc/passwd /tmp/passwd sed -e /^root:/s/root:[^:]*:/root:x:/ /tmp/passwd > /etc/passwd cp /etc/shadow /tmp/shadow sed -e "/^root:/s*root::*root:`grep '^root:' /tmp/passwd|cut -d: -f2`:*" \ /tmp/shadow > /etc/shadow rm -f /tmp/passwd /tmp/shadow #----- cut here --------------------------
