Generate your Kickstart password for RedHat 7 and CentOS 7

May 5, 2016 by Carlos E. Vargas

When creating automated Kickstart files to install RedHat 7 or CentOS7 you need to use a different hashing algorithm for the password.  If you have a Linux server with Python here is what you can do to generate that password.   python -c ‘import crypt,getpass; print(crypt.crypt(getpass.getpass(), crypt.mksalt(crypt.METHOD_SHA512)))’
