Hi,

So I added the following in the passwd table. (Please note that I removed
part of the hash)

#key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
"omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,,
"system","root","$6$rGLFuCxxxxxxxxx",,,,

I still get the same error.

in my template
file, /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl, line 130
looks like the below.
rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#

what am I missing here ?

thanks
