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?

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> <user_password>1C4DFVM68V3xnFU</user_password> <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. -Nick On Tue, 15 Mar 2005, Jeffrey Andrews wrote:

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: <passwd_encryption>md5</passwd_encryption> In my <user> section, the below is the md5 digested password. <user_password>EE8863733EF4355A37D566F3DF2AD016</user_password> Thanks.

This doesn't look like the proper format needed for the file /etc/shadow as it seems to be some hex value. Even if the above value turned up in /etc/shadow (if it did at least your xml-configuration seems okay) you could not log in. Let's say your password is supposed to be suse. You get the proper hash for example with mkpasswd (package whois): mkpasswd --hash=md5 Passwort:suse $1$jJaKReiE$a4DK5UhFrvbg8hDX4nXrj. The last line is what you cut and paste between <user_password> and </user_password> Another way to get the hash would be to give some testuser-account the desired password and copy the resulting hash from /etc/shadow.

hi all, i'm planning to migrate to SuSE 9.1 from Centos 3.3 which is runnig on my system right now. let me tell u at the start that i'm completely new to linux. i would like to know, if i can directly put the SuSE cd's into the drive and start installing. the system is relatively new, and doesn't have much data on it. so i don't stand to lose anything if SuSE completely overwrites everything. the hard disk has already been partitioned, would this create any problems. kindly let me know if i need to take any precautions before starting the installation. thanks for any help. bye. chaitanya. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I do not want to disappoint you, but I think you subscribed to the wrong mailing-list. This list deals with automatic installation procedures of SuSE Linux and its deriavates. You may want to subscribe to suse-linux-e@suse.com via http://www.suse.com/en/private/support/online_help/mailinglists/ This is just a quick hint from me for now: If you have a /home on a single partition, in your scenario you should be ok with formatting all other partitions leaving that one alone. bis dahin / kind regards Martin Mewes -- http://webmin.mamemu.de/
