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?

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>

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.

In my <security> section:
md5 In my <user> section, the below is the md5 digested password.

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.

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!?

Hi,
Chaitanya Krishna A
let me tell u at the start that i'm completely new to linux.
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/
