Description Jan Stodola 2021-11-26 13:12:43 UTC

Description of problem:
Based on [1], the "rootpw --lock" kickstart command should disable the root password screen:

"--lock - If this option is present, the root account is locked by default. This means that the root user will not be able to log in from the console. This option will also disable the Root Password screens in both the graphical and text-based manual installation."


However, if an incomplete kickstart is provided, anaconda allows to enter the root password spoke and change the settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-9.0.0-20211124.3
anaconda-34.25.0.20-1.el9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a kickstart installation with "rootpw --lock", do not specify the partitioning
2. Wait until the main hub shows.

Actual results:
Anaconda allows to enter the root password spoke and change the settings.

Expected results:
* The root password screen is disabled in both GUI and TUI OR
* The documentation is updated.
