I don’t believe so, but you could stick a ‘passwd –d root’ in the ‘<post>’ section of your Kickstart file to clobber it during the tail end of installation.

Hi,
Is there a way of setting the "rootpw" entry so that there is no root password.
I want to make the iso install completely and then ask the user to change the root password on first login.
So they would just enter
login: root
then it will ask them to change their password.
I can get the second part to happen with "chage -d0 root" in the %post section, but can't get it to install without a password in the first place.
If I leave out the rootpw entry it asks me to enter one as part of anaconda.
Is there some switch I can use with the rootpw entry to not have a password?
thanks,
niall
