Well, I'd assume before building 4000 nodes, they'd test the kickstart (I test mine extensively on VMs before using on a real box). It isn't "another 20 steps" - either a sed one-liner to allow root or a mkdir and a echo to add an SSH key (which you'd probably do anyway if you're doing the rest with Ansible). > Make it a predefined kickstart thing they can do so all they have to do is > add a line in it that says > > ssh_remote --user=<account> --keyfile=<url> --yesIwantrootandIknowitsbad If this is the desired path, I'd go with a couple of additional arguments to existing directives: --enablerootssh (for rootpw or maybe auth?) --sshkey (for both rootpw and user directives) No matter if this proposal is done, having an --sshkey option would be nice, especially for Ansible use. I think this OpenSSH change to follow upstream (and many other OS) config is a good and overdue thing. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
