Hi folks,
Can anyone tell me the file / edit location to disable the login/password prompt at boot? We are configuring some machines to be administered remotely and headless.
Curious why login/password needs to be disabled for remote admin.. ?
You could have a 'blank' root password by editing the /etc/shadow and removing the password hash in the root entry.
ie:
change first line from: root:$1$/Pf93ewQ7p$CkblarG3W5hWDZ2hXnBUn/:15530:0:99999:7::: to root::15530:0:99999:7:::
Then, logging in as root and <enter> for password.
Only if security is not a concern though.
