Package: dropbear Version: 0.52-1 Severity: wishlist
The "cryptroot remote unlocking on boot feature" from #465903 provides a nice feature. But: on live systems (like grml, debian-live,...) this feature usually won't be activated by default (because dhcp might not be available, causing delays, having ssh-server/cryptsetup/... available later on anyway, etc). Disabling the feature via initramfs.conf works fine of course, but it would be nice if the feature could be *enabled* on request. This would provide a setup where dropbear isn't enabled by default in the initramfs but could be enabled for example if the initramfs doesn't find a root filesystem. Would be nice if the dropbear setup could be triggered by another initscript of initramfs-tools (for example when locating the root filesystem fails) and/or by using a bootoption like "dropbear=yes" to enable it manually. What's your opinion about that? regards, -mika- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
