Via etcupdate after installworld. In the event the system requests manual intervention I accept "theirs all". It seems odd if that can null a root password. Still, it does seem an outside possibility. I could see it adding system users, but messing with root's existing password seems a bit unexpected. Thanks very much for raising the point! bob prohaska
