Adding a user during kickstart:
/usr/sbin/useradd username
/usr/sbin/usermod -p '<encrypterd_password>' <username>
Making encrypted passwords:
$ openssl passwd -1
Password: secret!
$1$ZhEKgpbS$KtmSr63TRqGQ1NcGXCaR01
Openssl only asks once, so you might want to verify the output:
(notice the salt is between the second and third $ signs)
$ openssl passwd -1 -salt ZhEKgpbS
Password: secret!
$1$ZhEKgpbS$KtmSr63TRqGQ1NcGXCaR01
Thanks Phil for the above password creation help.
