Yes, I tried essentially the same thing but additionally with md5 and
shadow. Turned out that the password entry both in passwd and shadow
was empty after the kickstart. I removed the ldap stuff from the
authconfig line since we do that via cfengine anyways, and then it
worked. And yes, it used to work in rhel4.
