Hey guys.  During my auto install I want a default root password to be put
in place.  I checked numberous documentation and searched quite a bit and
couldn't come up with anything.  I was going to just do something like
'echo "password" | passwd root --stdin' in a post-install script but the
'passwd' included in SuSE does not support the --stdin option I've seen in
the past.  I would prefer not to hack up passwd to add this functionality
as well.

Am I missing something obvious?  Is there anyway this can be done?  Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
	-Nick
