Hi all, One big problem with existing live images, VM images, "cloud" images and images for mobile/tablet devices outside of Debian has been the provision of OpenSSH private keys within the image file. Obviously this is a huge fail.
I was talking with Daniel Baumann about how Debian Live approaches this problem and I think he said Debian Live has some scripts to remove them after installation. We were thinking that it might be nice to add support to openssh-server for installing the package, not generating the host keys and then generating them on first boot. debconf pre-seeding could be one way to do that, but it would be quite specific and a more general solution might be desirable. So, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas on this topic? On a related note, an "OEM" mode for d-i is something I believe we currently lack. Requirements for this would be the above "unconfigured systems" idea plus some on-boot UI to configure the system (timezone, users, etc). -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
