If I told the system to use md5, would I then encrypt the
MD5 digest of the password, or the plain text?
In my <security> section:
You need to encrypt the password before setting it and enter it in like so:
<users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted>
1C4DFVM68V3xnFU <username>root</username> </user> </users>To generate the above encrypted password you want to try something like:
# perl -e 'print crypt("passwd", "95"),"\n"'
'system' being the password and '95' being an arbitrary salt.
Hope this help.

Below, I've included a portion of my autoinst.xml that sets up the password stuff. Why doesn't my root user get his password set? Am I missing something or specifying something incorrectly?
