Would just like to thank you. My whole problem was i was adding the users
before i did my up2date after the kickstart. I now do my up2date after
kickstart, then run my script that dumps all the config and data over to the
servers and the passwords are now working great. Thought there for a second i
found a major bug in redhat, well i guess i did just that someone else
allready found it and redhat allready fixed it. Kudo's to you RH.
Jim.
