Full Discussion: Create an unconfigured VMware host from a template that is set to do firstboot --reconfig
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Create an unconfigured VMware host from a template that is set to do firstboot --reconfig Post 302946725 by os2mac on Thursday 11th of June 2015 03:54:20 PM

Solution
#1. login in as root (not listed?)
#2. remove all users
#3. remove root passwd
Code:
 
# passwd -d root

#4. set passwd for root to expire, forcing a reset on next login
Code:
# passwd -e root

#5. sys-unconfig

then convert to template.

this will force the firstboot GUI on boot, then you su - in a terminal and set the passwd for root when you su - the first time.

ifcfg-wireless

IFCFG(5)						       Network configuration							  IFCFG(5)

NAME

       ifcfg-wireless - wireless LAN network interface configuration

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan-*
       /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-type-wlan

GENERAL

       Wireless  networks  need  some additional configuration data compared to ethernet ones. Therefore additional variables for ifcfg files were
       introduced.  All wireless LAN specific variables are described in the ifcfg template file /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. It is pos-
       sible to configure more than one wireless network accepted for association. To achieve this add suffix _1 to all wireless variables for the
       second network, _2 for the this, and so on. Example: WIRELESS_ESSID_1="second_net" You can have up to  ten  wireless  networks  configured.
       Some  wireless  variables  are not applicable to a single wireless network but are global to the interface. The description of the variable
       points this out.
