hi Thomas,
The password is set in the script scripts/FAIBASE/10-misc
using the command
echo "root:$ROOTPW" | $ROOTCMD chpasswd --encrypted
You may want to add an echo $ROOTPW, to see if the password is really
set before calling the command.
I think you put me on the right track here. I will try this next time.
> ROOTPW='itlrBHLS/AD36'
You should not show us your encrypted password.
I didn't, the password is already edited for this list ;)
BTW, I'm always very interested in user experiences with FAI. Can you
please fill out the FAI questionnaire
http://www.informatik.uni-koeln.de/fai/questionnaire
and send it back to me when you finished a project with fai.
sure, I will. but first I need to get through the job ;)
another remark I have: I had to disable the "chboot" task, since the
installation stalled each time, because "ssh" was requesting an
interactive confirmation when adding the new host key for the
fai-server during outward connection. how is the strict host key
checking disabled in general?
thanks again,
MU
