maybe need to provide `cryptmethod` for the root password.

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

  Hi Casandra,

  this is what I have:

  [root@hpc3-xcat-1 xcat]# tabdump passwd
  #key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable
  "omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,,

  I did not have a password set for root all this time.

  in version 2.16 , is this required now? How do I set a root password in
  password table?

  thanks.

   Hi,

   I just upgraded from 2.15 to the latest 2.16 version of xcat and now I
   am getting the following error message, when i try to build a system.

   Please see attached.

   here is error message, as I read from the console.

   A single argument is expected for the rootpw command.

   This is in /opt/xcat/share/xcat/install/centos/compute.centos7.tmpl file
   and this is what line 129 looks like.  this worked fine with xcat 2.15 .

   rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password#

   Can you please give me a hand with this?

   thanks.
