Question about installing LongPassword11i3 and SHA11i3 during a depot software load using Ignite

[RJHall]

Rather than Igniting from an image, we are currently Igniting our server OS loads from a depot. Two of the components we are attempting to load are Longpassword11i3 and SHA11i3. However, the checkinstall scripts for these packages return with an exit code 3 because shadow passwords is not yet implemented. Is there a way to get Ignite to begin the software load with shadow passwords already activated?

Sorry if my question seems ignorant. Thank you.

It looks like the checkinstall script for LongPassword11i3 just does an 'ls' of the /etc/shadow file and check the return code. So all I really need to somehow do at this stage is 'echo "\c">/etc/shadow' prior to the checkinstall phase.
