Description Jérôme Fenal 2009-09-10 14:36:43 UTC
Description of problem:

At :
https://<sat url>/rhn/kickstart/SystemDetailsEdit.do

When modifying system details in a kickstart, such as SELinux or RHN Configuration management, root password modification is now mandatory, and one cannot leave the two fields empty.

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

5.3

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a kickstart, or use an already defined one
2. Go to its System Details
3. Click a check box/radio button, leaving password field empty, commit.
  
Actual results:

Error :     * A root password must be entered

Expected results:

No error, root password not modified if fields are left empty, as it used to be pre-5.3

I got no error and password before editing System Details is
rootpw --iscrypted $1$FJoHchHr$f5vGbNo1M8L3wTxY.YpZH.
after editing, with leaving password field empty it is still
rootpw --iscrypted $1$FJoHchHr$f5vGbNo1M8L3wTxY.YpZH.

verified in stage
