Hi,

I've been investigating a recent issue I had between libguestfs 1.44 and 1.47 about setting root password for an openSUSE 15.2 guest VM.

On libguestfs 1.44, default hash method for setting root password is SHA512 where as with recent commit for 1.47 it uses YESCRYPT (https://github.com/rwmjones/guestfs-tools/commit/ba6d4cb7d394c1b5d14ef8103e3...).

Looking at https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE%3AFactory/libxcrypt it looks like I would need to install libxcrypt into the guest but I don't find any official package for Leap.

What workaround would you suggest instead? For now, the only workaround I see if to manually generate the password and sed the shadow file.

Thank you.

Best regards, Frédéric Pierret
