Hi All, I'm kickstarting using cobbler off of a CentOS 6.3 box. I have a post install script to automagically change root's passwd to something random: echo "root:`cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 20 | head -1`" > /root/`hostname`.passwd && cat /root/`hostname`.passwd |chpasswd If I run this on the command line of a already installed system then the command executes as expected and returns me to my shell prompt When executed inside of the installer the system hangs. If I switch consoles to F2 I see the cat command as well as tr and fold all running. If i kill the cat command then the system finishes installing and reboots. I'm not sure why it's not working inside of the install environment but works in a installed environment. Any ideas?
