Hello all!
I'm trying to set up password for a target machine, so far I used
default 'fai' password and also was able to set it to nothing using
ROOTPW='' directive in class file. But now I need to set it to something
appropriate. The documentation says that I can use md5sum or crypt, so I
tried
$echo "secretpassword" | md5sum
and then setting ROOTPW directive to the resulting md5 hash, but It did
not work, so I'm asking, how to do it properly.

Any help appreciated,

Alex.
