Hallo Paul, For example password "Disciple" within <user> <encrypted config:type="boolean">false</encrypted> <user_password>Disciple</user_password> <username>root</username> </user> ... You can also use encrypted (set to true) passwords from /etc/shadow. Regards Alfred At 15:22 22.03.2006, discip@pjm.com wrote:

is there a way to set root's password throught autoinstall.xml? I put a stanza in for root, but it doesnt seem to take. If I try to do it with the gui, it tells me the user-defs conflict with an already existing user.
