Description Fabian Deutsch 2012-07-13 16:00:08 UTC 
Description of problem:
o-c-password fails with a "token manipulation error" if it's used to set the admin password.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
A recent F17 build

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install F17 using auto install (don't know yet if ai is relevant)
2. Login and drop to shell
3. run /usr/libexec/ovirt-config-password
  
Actual results:
Password can not be set because passwd fails with "token manipulation error"

Expected results:
Password can be set

Additional info:
It seems that passwd changed, strace reveals that it tries to rename /etc/nshadow to /etc/shadow, this fails on our (ro) setup
Comment 1 Fabian Deutsch 2012-07-13 16:02:31 UTC 
The ovirtnode.password py-module is not affected and can be used to change the password (so TUI is not affected)
