Description Efthimios Toulas 2005-09-09 11:55:21 UTC 
While creating a xml profile you are not prompted to set a root password.
But changing the root password is not intuitive. You have to select "users and
groups" then set the filter to "system accounts", mark the root account and edit it.

Without the root password the root user is missing in the control-file and
thereby there is no root account on the autoinstalled system.

The new installed system is broken.
Comment 1 Efthimios Toulas 2005-09-09 11:55:47 UTC 
The best workaround for this seems to be a pop-up that prevents saving the
profile  if there is no password for root.

After quitting the message the appropriate dialog should show up, so that the
user can set a root password.
