My ks.cfg specifies the password in plaintext - 'rootpw hackme' - but s-c-k leaves the password entry boxes blank, and the "encrypt root password" box checked. If I immediately save my ks.cfg after opening it, I'm prompted to set a root password.
Fixed in CVS. Note I also won't encrypt a string starting with $1$ if iscrypted is set, so both parsing of encrypted and unencrypted passwords in ks.cfg should work
