I'm trying to upgrade the IPv6 config on a machine. I have the root password, but not the password for LUKS to unlock the /home. Since I don't need /home, and it would take a bunch of time to freshen my DOE clearance, is there some way to tell LUKS to skip mounting /home and just come up with boot and root? Yes, I tried the obvious, having someone bring up the machine, unmount /home, and then commenting out the /home in /etc/fstab (tried noauto first). Didn't help. Yes I did it in the boot fstab too. More didn't help.
Why not boot the pc from a recovery cd/dvd/usb stick and let it mount the root fs and chroot to it. Then you can yum install/remove packages and edit config files.
