[Bug 48918] Re: shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw)
I work with matt (the original reporter) and it is still not working for us. We got around it for a while with some sed magic. Our user config section looks like: rootpw --iscrypted xx user --disabled auth --useshadow --enablemd5 --enablenis --nisdomain ournisdomain --nisserver ournisserver A shadow file is created with no root password (root:x:...) -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Our user configuration for Kickstart is as follows: # config section auth --useshadow --enablemd5 rootpw --iscrypted xx user nttuser --fullname user --iscrypted --password xx And we don't notice any problems with the creation of the shadow file. Perhaps this is now fixed? -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

For the record, we do run shadowconfig on if passwd/shadow is true, which is (a) the default and (b) preseeded by this Kickstart file. I think it must be something a little less obvious. -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Matt: ordering of different commands is not important in Kickstart files. (Ordering of the same command, for example multiple 'part' commands, may be relevant.) -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The only difference between test-kickseed output for dapper and dapper- updates is: -d-i passwd/root-login true +d-i passwd/root-login boolean true It seems unlikely that the old output would cause shadow passwords to be disabled, but I'll check it. -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What's the story on this? Did this get fixed and the bug simply forgotten? -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems a lot worse to me than low urgency if kickstart is supposed to be a supported method of installing. Should we be running `shadowconfig on` in the postinstall or something? This was working previously with dapper, from looking back at logs it appears to have been in the march/april range. -- shadow passwords not enabled (no rootpw) https://launchpad.net/bugs/48918 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
