Hi all,
Thanks to the switch to the Fedora 7 base I've been able to get much farther in livecd creation. However I'm not having a problem where after creating my initial image, I run a -base-on instance with a custom package that assigns local settings and a root user password. At the end of each run I see a flag go by that says "Removing password for user root". Sure enough that is happening. I can't find anywhere in my custom package that would be doing it, so I have to assume it's the livecd-creator application at the end of its run. Is there a way to disable that? Or a method other than a script within an RPM that would be preferred for this?
Thanks.
-Eli

livecd-creator is using the kickstart object values for determining whether to set the root password from an encrypted value or from plaintext, and if no kickstart object value is available, removes the root password.
