Anyone else seeing this behaviour?
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. -- Janne Blomqvist _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
