I have the following line in my ks.cfg file: rootpw --iscrypted (encrypted string here) When I installed RH 6.0 using this ks.cfg file, the root password (which works on another RH 6.0 system) did not work. Further investigation revealed that the root password was set to the encrypted string rather than using the encrypted string as the already-encrypted password. In other words, I had to type the characters of the encrypted password to log in rather than what the encrypted password represented. Mike Iglesias University of California, Irvine iglesias
