Package: dropbear-initramfs Version: 2016.74-5 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
when using Dropbear in an Debian 9.0 Stretch InitRAMFS for remotely unlocking an encrypted root file system via SSH, then the network setup via DHCP does provide the host name as it was with Debian 8.0 Jessie. This avoids using DNS names to connect to the host, instead you have to find out the assigned dynamic IP and then connect to the address instead of the host dns name. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (900, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dropbear-initramfs depends on: ii busybox 1:1.22.0-19+b3 ii dropbear-bin 2016.74-5 ii initramfs-tools 0.130 ii udev 232-25 Versions of packages dropbear-initramfs recommends: ii cryptsetup 2:1.7.3-4 dropbear-initramfs suggests no packages. -- Configuration Files: /etc/dropbear-initramfs/config changed: DROPBEAR_OPTIONS='-p 22242' -- no debconf information
