if you have crypted password,  you may need to add cryptmethod in the
passwd table.
If the password is a string,  you don't need to add cryptmethod

[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",,,
<------------------------- don't need sha512

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

  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

        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.
