I've encountered two problems:
How to specify the kickstart file.
How, in the kickstart file does one affect /etc/login.defs .
According to fedora, a kickstart file is the right way to do what I want.
There is no specific command to affect /etc/login.defs .
From what I have read, %post runs too late:
I solved this problem by remaking shadow-utils.src.rpm by changing the
login.defs it provieds.
As noted earlier, I can barely use an rpm, much less edit one.
Too many hills to climb at once.
Then create a repo and reference it in kickstart.cfg:
repo --name=usr500 --baseurl=http://mywebserver/yum/arch/f16-i386
--cost=1 --includepkgs=shadow-utils
You might want to consider contributing this to a repository.
It's a bit late for me, but there are others
who might not switch until F15 is EOL.
More retails, it all took only half a day:
Patching an rpm means installing it, editing the spec and the contents
(or adding a patchfile) then repacking the src.rpm then rpmrebuild
--rebuild it.
Repo are just the files on a webserver and then run createrepo.
A better solution would be to implement a kickstart %mid section where
you can run a script on the install just before any packages are
installed, after filesystems are created and mounted are mounted etc.
Yup.
BTW is there anything that can be done in %post that root cannot do later?
