I would like to 2nd that as well. I am also trying to do get a minimal install disc with the fewest packages possible. I currently have it down to around 150 as well so maybe we can compare notes.

I am also looking to achieve what you have already done. At present I use the modified CentOS minimal ks.cfg file, but this is what I was looking for, package by package control. Regards.

Thanks to Zack & Joshua; it was indeed the missing authconfig package. I ran: authconfig --useshadow --kickstart and it generated the proper /etc/shadow for me. So I have now updated my comps.xml to include authconfig package. My comps.xml is completely homegrown; it has just one <group> with all the packages my server install needs (about 150 or so) and nothing more. I had removed authconfig (in fact, removed all the redhat-config-*/similar packages) to get to a minimal build.
