RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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

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.
