Im creating a number of kickstarts for different boxes. some of which are similar. Ja, got the cloning bit, but it seems that spacewalk could do with a feature that sets a default root pass for all machines that is kickstarted and registered to say a specific spacewalk server??? We most use secure keys as admin logins, and never really the password. So the password can be complex, and/or cycled. any ideas on this?
