FAI (root password change on errors)

[Matteo Guglielmi]

I found the cause of it buried in one of my scripts.


Here it is:


$ROOTCMD echo -e "$ROOTPW\n$ROOTPW" | passwd root


which actually changes the root pass of FAI itself

and not the root pass of the client being installed

in /target



Changed to this now:


$ROOTCMD usermod -p "$ROOTPW" root

I think this is a log log from changing the root pw inside the chroot
of /target. You should verify, if really the hash in /etc/shadow is
changed.

Using alt-F2 or alt-F3 you can always get a shell without login in.
