Hello,

we discovered some problems with the autoinstall in SuSE 9.1 pro.

We downloaded updates (rpms) from an ftp-server and then build a new
package list as described in the documentation. Everything looked ok, but 
postfix and sshd did not start any more with the new package-list. The reason 
was, that some users and groups were missing. These users and groups could 
not be created (completely) with normal autoinstall-script.
Since it was ok before the update, one or more of the updated rpms should be 
the source of the trouble. Looking at the updated packages i found 
yast2-users-2.9.29-0.2.i586.rpm to be the favourite candiate for the break. 

After removing it from the packagelist everything (in this context) worked as 
expected.

Another issue dials with the file: /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
Since yast-configuration does not offer all the options we need, we copied the 
file to this location during install using the "complete configuration files" 
option from autoyast. But after the installation the expected content was not 
in the file. It was overwritten from the installation process. I think this 
is a error, which shoult be fixed.
A quick solution was to use a "post-install" script to put the file in its 
position.
