To update the ISO, I mounted the ISO on a linux box, extracted the initrd image using cpio, edited /etc/master to include the correct username and password, and then recompiled back to a bootable CD. On booting from the CD, the Z drive gets mounted, as the username and password are correct, but then the script immediately drops to the shell with the "autoexec.bat failed to set Z_PASS; bailing at /z/dosbin/install.pl line 1163". Unfortunately, I don't program perl, so I don't understand what's going on around line 1163 in install.pl, so I don't really know what could be causing the error (hence why I put the password in the install.pl - which I have now removed).
You mentioned a tempcred.bat file - where is this stored on the server? I managed to find it on a client by interrupting the installation part way through, but I haven't been able to find where it's stored (or created from?) on the server.

There should be a .BAT file (TEMPCRED.BAT), in which the env vars are defined. If you insist changing install.pl, you'll have to use proper programming, e.g.: remove lines 1163 and 1164 and replace line 1165 by: $u->{'_meta'}->{'z_password'} = $ENV{'Z_PASS'} || 'pr2E4LaX'; Bye, - -- Steffen Kaiser -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iQEVAwUBRmUD3dOkJV1AYoBwAQIPsQf/ZgAW1JAYeun0iYQ0nDkHMQjuWaiH9ADp p3+cXRXhHqOvd5GzHqL7blHpFGSVbkYYghd4D/gnJATHiEaDzLTz5iPWVE1DHcx9 rdh4MLchBmIPkgXc0LJZUKaGmdhRm5gkVbLLuvyfkdoWs+Se5JwHveNcWOWZFMkC PPm8Uv73QrGc/ZixvRkGtU+L628L6GFoLP5EKM1xcIM1zdfFaIcrK708c+zxrXku 409O9c+haSwTXu9t+GizJcjWdX/BB0TFtNbHSSSdczQbkUeW5a61TDpA179hP0rh M66Sn8xF/DBqdaPqPhFIehWXhNKhclTCEc9zuEQnVxNWP3prES/P+w== =uO79 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
