Hallo, you included "User Management" in the Additional Resources Tab? This should include the users of your /etc/passwd file with their passwords. If you just need the root user you can add it manually: <users config:type="list"> <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">true</encrypted> <fullname>root</fullname> <gid>0</gid> <home>/root</home> <expire></expire> <flag></flag> <inact></inact> <max>99999</max> <min>0</min> <warn>7</warn> <shell>/bin/bash</shell> <uid>0</uid> ***hash*** <username>root</username> </user> </users> regards, Ulrich On May 15, 2008, at 6:36 PM, Ralf Prengel wrote:

Hallo,

i m using Yast2 autoyast to build an reference-file. That is working fine and an full installtion via small bootdisk and autoyast using a http-server works fine. But now after several experiments I ve the following problem. The users aren t stored any longer in the xml-file. That is definitly a problem because without a working root-login nothing works. It s no problem to merge an older working file with a newer one to configure root but I want to find out what is going wrong.

Thanks for hints
