[xen-tools-discuss] --role=passwd --role-args=password not working.

[W3SERVE John]

I am trying to install CentOS and Fedore through Rinse. Installing works,
but the installed system is not usable, because there is no root password
setup.
My install is Ubuntu Hardy, XEN 3.2.1, Xen-Tools 3.9.3, Xen-Shell 1.8, Rinse
1.1.

 

To make it possible for customers to install unattended I try using the role
script passwd. But then I get this response in the log file. And yes I have
installed the libexpect-perl package.

 

I added --role=passwd --role-args=password to my xen-create-image script.

 

 

Role: passwd

        File: /etc/xen-tools/role.d/passwd

        Args:  password

Changing password for user root.

New UNIX password: Failed 1st prompt

-----------------------------

Role script completed.

 

 

I hope somebody knows how to fix this problem.

 

Yours sincerely,
