Hi, When trying to figure out hot to change the default rootpassword of installed clients by just changing the variable "ROOTPW" in a class .var file, I believe that the information in the fai-guide and comments in the configs is not helpful to get a new password.
The only things I found that worked is * copying a password value from a real /etc/shadow file * using mkpasswd as written in http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-fai@uni-koeln.de/msg00210.html Both of these ways are not documented in the FAI-guide, and the hint on crypt or md5 in the guide/comments would lead me to use the crypt command (in the mcrypt package) or the md5sum command - both did not work for me. any experiences with this, or other ways how to do that?
