At least if you're using FAI, the original root password is effectively public to any host that could potentially boot off of the FAI servers, since at the point at which the system is being bootstrapped it usually can't authenticate itself. So public key is a natural fit for the security model that you need. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
