Hi Casandra, I suppose you were talking about adding a 'cryptmethod' to the passwd table? correct? I did that, and it didn't work.
[root@hpc3-xcat-1 backup-hpc3-xcat-1]# tabdump passwd #key,username,password,cryptmethod,authdomain,comments,disable "omapi","xcat_key","NUY4TWhCVnpkOWE5eVFQVWJ5QnJwOGxNY0FrbTY3MUY=",,,, "system","root","mypassw0rd","sha512",,, I still get the error message, line 130 of the kickstart file being an issue. I have the following in line 130: rootpw --iscrypted #CRYPT:passwd:key=system,username=root:password# thanks On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 1:50 PM Casandra H Qiu <cxh...@us.ibm.com> wrote: > maybe need to provide `cryptmethod` for the root password. > > > ................................................................... > Casandra Hong Qiu > Phone: (845) 433-9291, t/l 293-9291 > Office: Building 8, 3-B-04 > cxh...@us.ibm.com > > > > [image: Inactive hide details for Imam Toufique ---10/07/2020 04:33:28 > PM---Hi, So I added the following in the passwd table.
