You mean the root pw on the server is schanged? No. The install client calls fai-chboot on the server, which disables the PXE config, so the next time the client boots from local disk. The script scripts/DEBIAN/10-rootpw set the root pw on the install client via $ROOTPW which is defined in class/FAIBASE.var: ROOTPW='$1$kBnWcO.E$djxB128U7dMkrltJHPf6d1' -- regards Thomas
