This is my first time posting to the mailing list.  Please let me know if
I'm not doing something
correctly. :X

I like the idea of a boot cd.  I wrote a little script that makes a user, a
random password
sets up ssh on a random port, and sends an email to a designated address
with information
regarding the IP of the machine, the password, username, and port of ssh.

This script requires the computer have internet connection, have an SMTP
agent installed
like postfix for example.

So all you should have to do is get a nice boot cd running and configure the
script into
the proper run level.

I've posted the script if anyone is interested in looking at it or improving
it, go right ahead. :)

hope it's useful.
