Hi,
after a upgrade to fai 2.8.4 the root password is not set on my clients.
In DEFAULT/S20 (cfegine skript based on the simple example skript), the
line in /etc/passwd should be replaced, but it is not because when i
look into that file, there is no root password set
next possible source of problems could be the passwd/shadow debconf
thingy
do I have to do the replace in /etc/shadow or /etc/passwd ???
among all other little problems and changes in 2.8.4, this one is
release critical, as it allows a regular user to su with an empty
password and you know what that means to nfs mounted homedirs...
best regards,
juraj
