is there a way to set root's password throught autoinstall.xml? I put a stanza in for root, but it doesnt seem to take. If I try to do it with the gui, it tells me the user-defs conflict with an already existing user. ~Paul

Here is what works for me:
<users config:type="list">
<user>
<encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted>
<fullname>root er sjef</fullname>
<gid>0</gid>
<home>/root</home>

you have to set the "filter" on the bottom right of the UI to "system user". Then you can see and edit the root account and configure the root password with the UI. I know, that's a bit hidden and we changed that for 10.1/SLES10 so that the root account is visible immediately. -- ciao, Uwe Gansert Uwe Gansert, Server Technologies Team SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstrasse 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany e-mail: uwe.gansert@suse.de, Tel: +49-(0)911-74053-0, Fax: +49-(0)911-74053-476, Web: http://www.suse.de
