    boot parameter "password"

    In the Headless-Knoppix-Howto, i'v seen not documented (can't find it in knoppix-cheats) kernel-parameter "password". When i try to give this parameter to the kernel, nothing happens. I need to set passwords without using knoppix.sh or remastering knoppix. Is it possible ?

    my own solution

    ------------------------knoppix.sh--------------------------------------
    #!/bin/sh
    # get the kernel commandline
    CMDLINE="$(grep -o -e 'password=[[:alnum:]]\+' /proc/cmdline | sed -e 's/password=//')"
    echo "setting rootpassword"
    echo "root:$CMDLINE" | chpasswd

    # bringing up sshd
    /etc/init.d/ssh start
    ------------------------knoppix.sh---------------------------------------
