I'm having a few problems using Kickstart. I'm installing Redhat 6.2. 1. RPM in the %post section is not being executed. The same command works fine once the system has rebooted. I would like to be able to just run a script in this section if possible. 2. When the system boots up, it allows root to login without entering the password. I checked the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and sure enough for some reason the encrypted password shows up in /etc/passwd but not in /etc/shadow 3. Is there a way to pass the hostname as a variable in ks.cfg Any help will be appreciated. Following is the ks.cfg file that I'm using: lang en_US network --bootproto static --ip 10.8.8.117 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --gateway 10.8.8.254 cdrom device ethernet eepro100 keyboard "us" zerombr yes clearpart --linux part / --size 300 part /boot --size 30 part /home --size 2048 part /tmp --size 100 part /usr --size 4096 part /usr/local --size 4096 part /var --size 2048 part swap --size 1024 part /var/log --size 1 --grow install mouse genericps/2 timezone --utc GMT xconfig --server "Mach64" --monitor "generic monitor" rootpw --iscrypted *encrypted password* auth --useshadow --enablemd5 lilo --location mbr %packages @ Everything %post # PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/sbin:/bin # export PATH echo "nameserver 10.8.8.250" >> /etc/resolv.conf mount -a /bin/rpm -ivh ftp://10.8.8.94/pub/rpm/*.rpm Thanks, Vishal Suri vishal_suri@xxxxxxxxx __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
