Hello again I am using a SuSE 7.3 as server but installing a 8.2 via network. This is the <user> section the .xml contains: <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <user_password>z9GVieH7YNmSE</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>clh</user_password> <username>clh</username> </user> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>pgomez</user_password> <username>pgomez</username> <uid>1000</uid> </user> </users> root is succesfully created, but 'clh' and 'pgomez' aren't. I tried to supply encrypted passwords both for 'pgomez' and 'clh' users without luck. Any clue? thanks in advance.
