RE: automate RHN setup

["Nicholas P. Bernstein" <nickbernstein sbcglobal net>]

James: I hadn't seen this option to kickstart. Could you point me to some
documentation, I have pretty much read all of the documentation on kickstart
that I could find but must have missed this. What version of RH are you
using?

Nick

Subject: automate RHN setup


I'm trying to use the rhnreg_ks program to automatically configure my
machine during kickstart for the Red Hat Network.  I am successful if I do:

rhnreg_ks --username=myname --password=mypasswd
--email=james martin digex com


however, if I use the --cryptedpassword option I get:


Traceback (innermost last):
   File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 244, in ?
     main()
   File "/usr/sbin/rhnreg_ks", line 205, in main
     ret = rhnreg.reserveUser(username, password)
   File "/usr/share/rhn/register/rhnreg.py", line 457, in reserveUser
     ret = doCall(s.registration.reserve_user, username, password)
   File "/usr/share/rhn/register/rhnreg.py", line 153, in doCall
     ret = apply(method, args)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 689, in
__call__
     return self.__send(self.__name, args)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 731, in
__request
     request = dumps(params, methodname)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 505, in dumps
     data = m.dumps(params)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 264, in dumps
     self.__dump(v)
   File "/usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/xmlrpclib.py", line 275, in __dump
     raise TypeError, "cannot marshal %s objects" % type(value)
TypeError: cannot marshal <type 'None'> objects



Of course I'd much rather crypt the password so people can't glean it
from the kickstart file.  Has anyone else tried to do this?


Thanks,

James
