Which
way depends on whether you have md5 password encryption set or not, the
encrypted password schemes are different. I get the string the low-tech
way, by setting root's password on a matching system and cutting/pasting the
encrypted password out of /etc/shadow.

Subject: encrypting passwords for rootpwWe build ks.cfg files on the fly, generate a floppy and hand that off for installation. How can I generate the encrypted password for the rootpw option? I don't want to put the plain text version in the floppy because the people doing the install should not have the root password. Different systems have different root passwords and I want to generate it as we build the ks.cfg.Jay McCanta
