Hello,
using sed on your /etc/shadow is a very harsh way to do it. On Red Hat
the passwd command supports the --stdin parameter which is much cleaner
echo supersecret | passwd --stdin root
Run this as a remote action and you are good.
Alternatively, you can create a dummy RPM where this is a %post action
and deploy this RPM. This should work as well and the version of that
dummy RPM will actually give you a hint on which of your rotated
passwords
it is.
Kind regards,
Steve

You change the root pw on one machine, grab the /etc/shadow entry, and
sed replace the root line in the shadow file into a remote command to
whatever systems you need to change.

Is there a way to deploy a root password change to a group of servers
in Satellite 5.6? I imagine something like this might be possible in
Satellite 6.x, but we don’t have that deployed yet.
Since spacewalk only has the root-pwd there for kickstart I don't
think
that is possible. I don't know if this helps, but: loop through your
servers, do sudo and:
echo "root:newpass"|chpasswd
I know, it is not the config-method you're looking for (puppet,
ansible), but sometimes the simplest things are sufficient too ...
