I'd like to note that that really isn't the password I'm setting... I changed that so it wouldn't be displayed here.
yeah I figgure the one line should handle both but it doesn't work... I still have permission errors. should I maybe use the fsscript to make the user instead of letting catalyst do it. On 9/7/06, Andrew Gaffney <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Also, you'll want to use single quotes in the echo when passing stuff to chpasswd to avoid the shell interpolating stuff in the string. In the above command, the root password is probably actually being set to a list of all the files in whatever directory you're in :P Use the -e option to chpasswd to have it put the password into /etc/shadow as-is. You could also use 'passwd -l root' to lock the account. -- Andrew Gaffney http://dev.gentoo.org/~agaffney/ Gentoo Linux Developer Installer Project -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
