Public bug reported: My existing CentOS 6.7 qcow2 image had ssh password authentication disabled. To remedy this I made necessary changes
#vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config comment PasswordAuthentication no and uncomment PasswordAuthentication yes. #sudo service sshd restart #chkconfig --level 5 sshd on in an instance running this image. Then, after shutting it down (checked pausing it too) I took snapshot of it from cli. [root@node-61 ~]# nova --version 2.18.1 [root@node-61 ~]# nova image-create e25a6289-d3f3-4ed1-8ab3-c4b828963c85 Meghadoop_snapshot_ready Now, If I instantiate a new VM with the created snapshot "Meghadoop_snapshot_ready", the changes made to sshdconfig is not reflected i.e. the new VM's sshdconfig has PasswordAuthentication no. However, the original instance, as expected, retains the changes made to sshdconfig after starting (or resuming). So I guess this is not due to dirty OS buffers etc. ** Affects: nova Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: snapshot -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Yahoo!
