passwd - a table in the xCAT database.
passwd Attributes: key, username, password, cryptmethod, comments, disable
Contains default userids and passwords for xCAT to access cluster components. In most cases, xCAT will also actually set the userid/password in the relevant component when it is being configured or installed. Userids/passwords for specific cluster components can be overidden in other tables, e.g. mpa, ipmi, ppchcp, etc.
The type of component this user/pw is for. Valid values: blade (management module), ipmi (BMC), system (nodes), omapi (DHCP), hmc, ivm, cec, frame.
The default userid for this type of component
The default password for this type of component
Indicates the method that was used to encrypt the password attribute. On AIX systems, if a value is provided for this attribute it indicates that the passwword attribute is encrypted. If the cryptmethod value is not set it indicates the password is a simple string value. On Linux systems, the cryyptmethod is not supported however the code attempts to auto-discover MD5 encrypted passowrds.
