and setting debug=true and feedback=true is a good idea in such a case, where a script seems to fail, too.

<script> <debug config:type="boolean">false</debug> <feedback config:type="boolean">false</feedback>

Ahh, I must have missed the one "]", and I didn't realize I can have separate commands on a different line.

Hello All!

I've been trying to run 2 post-scripts, and it appears they are not working. I'll I am trying to is modify 2 files, /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow.

This is what I have in the autoyast file:

<scripts> <post-scripts config:type="list"> <script> <debug config:type="boolean">false</debug> <feedback config:type="boolean">false</feedback> <filename>nispasswd</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <location></location> false <source><![CDATA[cat /etc/passwd | sed 's/+::::::/+::0:0:::/g'] >> /etc/passwd.tmp mv /etc/passwd.tmp /etc/passwd ]]></source>

Try this one: <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh cat /etc/passwd | sed 's/+::::::/+::0:0:::/g' > /etc/passwd.tmp mv /etc/passwd.tmp /etc/passwd ]]></source>

</script> <script> <debug config:type="boolean">false</debug> <feedback config:type="boolean">false</feedback> <filename>nisshadow</filename> <interpreter>shell</interpreter> <location></location> false <source>

...

...

/etc/shadow.tmp mv /etc/shadow.tmp /etc/shadow ]]></source>

Try this one: <source><![CDATA[#!/bin/sh cat /etc/shadow | sed 's/+/+::0:0:0::::/g' > /etc/shadow.tmp mv /etc/shadow.tmp /etc/shadow ]]></source>

</script> </post-scripts> </scripts>

As you can see, I am just trying to edit the passwd & shadow files. These scripts are within the <profile></profile> tags. Can someone help me understand why these post scripts are not working? Is there a better way to edit these files?

Leave out the ']' in the sed-commands and put the mv-commands on a new line. After the installation You can find the scripts in /var/adm/autoinstall/scripts and their debug-logs in /var/adm/autoinstall/logs HTH.
