Hello,

This subject comes on the foreground from time to time. I would like to implement the following:

I would write a simple cgi script that when requested returns a private ssh key file. Of course the cgi script would be protected in some kind of way. It would check that a certain machine is to be installed, and if so check the source ip address of the machine that called the cgi script. If they match we only then return the private key file.

When we boot the machine into fai, fai should then request the cgi script and download the keyfile. Using that private key fai is now able to download the config space trough svn+ssh.
It now deletes the private key it downloaded.

And continues with the installation.

The only question is where should I add the code that views the cgi script? Should I add in the rcS file? And where? I guess some things have to be configure first before I start the download.

Any other remarks are welcome too :)

Thanks in advance,
