Description of problem:

If ks file generated by anaconda on RHEL6 gets uploaded to Satellite, the following warn message shows up:

"This kickstart profile uses a different type of encryption by default than the root password is currently using. You must reset the root password to encrypt it with the new method."

See the attached picture.

Note: By default anaconda on rhel6 uses sha512 algo for rootpw.


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

2.5


How reproducible:

Always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install some RHEL6 machine to get ks file or generate it or make sure that already existing one contains sha512 algo (starts with "$6"):

rootpw --iscrypted $6$trAlalaT$RaLaLAtraLALaTR4lALATr4LAlatraLALaTR4lALATr4LAltraLALaTR4lALATr4LAltraLALaTR4lALATr4LA

2. Upload it to the Spacewalk:

3. Switch to "Kickstart File" tab:

https://<input_your_sat_fqdn>/rhn/kickstart/KickstartFileDownloadAdvanced.do?ksid=<input_ks_id>


Actual results:

The following warn message gets printed:

"This kickstart profile uses a different type of encryption by default than the root password is currently using. You must reset the root password to encrypt it with the new method."


Expected results:

No warn message if anaconda uses sha512 on RHEL6 by default.
