I thought I'd ask here. Ensure that you have USEMD5=yes in /etc/sysconfig/authconfig; this is set by kickstart's auth --enablemd5 line. MD5-based passwords look like this: $1$h6SOogDr$jZPK48gOLAgayPYLN4gSr0 whereas classic "crypt" passwords like this: 9tJNsoIV/pjgQ Both can be generated by openssl's passwd applet; see "openssl passwd --help" for more info.
