-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm building a custom kickstart file. The first question I have is: When I installed manually, on the first boot, I was prompted to agree to the license agreement, create a user, etc. Does that happen when doing a kickstart install? If not, I need to know how to set the new user's password from a script. I have the following from the Red Hat 9 documentation on kickstart %post configuration: /usr/sbin/useradd charles /usr/bin/chfn -f "Charles Howse" charles #/usr/sbin/usermod -p 'kjdf$04930FTH/ ' charles The user charles already exists on my system, and has an entry in /etc/shadow. I want to preserve the existing password, with the default expiration, etc for charles. I don't care if the password is encrypted or not in the script. Can I just copy the contents of /etc/shadow for charles between the first and second colons to the commented line above? Is there a way to set the password unencrypted? - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN Registered Linux user # 347576 (http://counter.li.org) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAR3h5/S+VsB9RMKgRAqTOAKCPcSiO+Bq0nsRa4JVd4484U4wqVwCgkxrU QfnyQMY3p3ibCHz2/Ebd8U0= =G0wz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
