<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE-AT><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE-AT>Hi all,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=DE-AT><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>currently you need to use the following command to change
the password inside a CT:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>vzctl set CTID --userpasswd root:XXX<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>This starts/stop the CT if it is not already running.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>That is OK unless you have preconfigured appliance templates
which does some<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>initialization at first startup. Let me explain:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>User create the CT: vzctl creat 777 --ostemplate name …<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>User set the password: vzctl set 777 --userpasswd
root:XXX (start/stop CT)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>3.)<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>User starts the CT<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>As you see, there is a totally unnecessary start/stop
action. Even worse, the container<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>is not fully functional at that time because HOSTNAME,
DOMAIN,… in not set before the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>container is started with “vzctl start”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I wonder if it would be possible to add a --userpasswd
parameter to the ‘create’ command? Or maybe<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>only a --rootpasswd option (because root is always a local
user).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow should be easy to modify
directly, or are there some distributions<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>with unusual file formats?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>- Dietmar<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
