Default root password: 2.4 vs. 2.6

[David Thompson]

Thank you Richard, that method did work.

I was not utilizing the 'append' keyword properly.

Hi Dave,

you should be able to override it in your local.conf.sample, please make sure you are using append and correct image name



(in local.conf.sample)

INHERIT += "extrausers"

EXTRA_USERS_PARAMS_append_pn-obmc-phosphor-image  = " \

usermod -p '\$1\$UGMqyqdG\$FZiylVFmRRfl9Z0Ue8G7e/' root; \

"

or add your own image name (instead of obmc-phosphor-image after append_pn) for which you are building. With this it will override.

Let me know if you are facing any problem with this method.



regards,

Richard

When we transitioned our OpenBMC baseline from 2.4 to 2.6
we noticed that the default root password for our platform has
changed to "0penBmc".  This appears to come from the file:
meta-phosphor/conf/distro/include/phosphor-defaults.inc:
usermod -p '\$1\$UGMqyqdG\$FZiylVFmRRfl9Z0Ue8G7e/' root;
And this password setting overrides the password we had chosen
in our machine's local.conf.sample.    We experimented but could not
find a way to prevent this override behavior.

Is this the intent with this change in 2.6 that all platforms by default
have root password of "0penBmc"?  Is there a way to have a platform
specific root password without changing "phosphor-defaults.inc"?

Regards,
Dave
