[opensuse-autoinstall] Password encryption
Hi, I was wondering if there was a way of changing the encryption algorithm in the user passwords. More specifically I would like to get whatever the root password is in /etc/shadow and put it in autoyast.xml. I don't need to decrypt it. Is there a way of doing this?

I'm not sure what are you asking for - do you want to set the root password in autoyast.xml? That's just the value of <user_password> in the <users> list...

Hi, If I understand the question correctly, you want to create the hashed value in an autoyast script so you can add that to /etc/shadow. Is that correct ? If so, try something like echo $user:$userpw | chpasswd -- Simon Crute IS&T. Bracknell.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's what I ended up doing in the end, but I was wondering if there was an "autoyast way" of doing it. Anyway I managed a workaround so no hassle. Simon Crute wrote:
