How to encrypt password
In the examples for FAI, the password for root is setup as fai. I want to use the same way to define a password for an other local user which should exist on all our servers. However, I can't find the way to translate fai to something like $1$kBnWcO.E$djxB128U7dMkrltJHPf6d1 Could someone tell me how? Tanks, Walter

ubuntu make-fai-bootfloppy is currently broken.
Hi folks,
migrating our ancient Ubuntu Dapper-Drake FAI to Hardy Heron I
encountered a very annoying message:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# make-fai-bootfloppy -B -d d -f /tmp/dummy -i
/tmp/hardy.iso FAI_FLAGS=verbose
make-fai-bootfloppy is currently broken. It does not support kernels with
initrd.
Installing Hardy on up to 140 Desktops aged 0 to 5 years I simply can't
do without initrd. Besides the default kernels of most distros nowadays
are initrd.
Is there any remedy? By the way: fai-server 3.2.4+svn4837-0ubuntu2
any hints welcome ...

Sounds promising. And quite obvious too ;-)
I got an ISO now, but no machine at hand. I will try and report ...
thanks
