Setting user label fails using grr_config_updater

[dptom]

Newly installed server on "3.16.0-30-generic #40~14.04.1-Ubuntu". Each attempt to change a user label using the following command string fails.

root@grrsvr1:/home/tom# grr_config_updater --verbose update_user --label user tom

Error message reported is:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grr/lib/aff4_objects/users.py", line 104, in SetPassword self._value = self._CalculateHash(password, salt=salt) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/grr/lib/aff4_objects/users.py", line 101, in _CalculateHash return crypt.crypt(password, salt) TypeError: must be string, not None

If this is a new install you will probably want to reinitialize the datastore and everything with the new client templates if you haven't already done that.

Good suggestion. I shall do that.
