I'd like to define a password for my user in my conf.scm file

Because I don't want to be bothered with using passwd every time

In the manual I read that I have to use thhe Guile ""crypt" procedure

Which module should I import in my conf file in order to se that procedure ?

The guile manual doesn't mention it or at least I can see no mention
(see Top -> Guile Modules -> Posix -> Encryption)

Thanks

ah crypt is in the user namespace, I mean the top level namespace, the one
the REPL is in when you launch it

Ok, thanks anyway

Did you figure this out?  It's a little tricky.  There's an example you
can copy from an email I wrote long ago here (search for "crypt"):

I think I did

I have this field in my user record

(password " " ab")

the space " " is the password (with my defective keyboard anything else is
unreasonable) and "ab" is the "seed" (I'll be damned if I now what it is)

This allows my VMs to have my user already configured when I run them for
the first time

Too bad I still can't have my keyboard layout set in my desktop
environments because Xorg roars at me when I touch its configuration :-/
