I'm trying to use the rhnreg_ks program to automatically configure my
machine during kickstart for the Red Hat Network. I am successful if I do:
rhnreg_ks --username=myname --password=mypasswd
--email=james.martin@xxxxxxxxx
however, if I use the --cryptedpassword option I get:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 244, in ?

self.__dump(v)
File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 275, in __dump
raise TypeError, "cannot marshal %s objects" % type(value)
TypeError: cannot marshal <type 'None'> objects
Of course I'd much rather crypt the password so people can't glean it
from the kickstart file. Has anyone else tried to do this?
Thanks,
James
