Two things I'd like to point out: 1) LTSP doesn't modify the ssh server configs in any way. It's not like sshd installs with only rsa-key methods enabled, and LTSP twiddles with the sshd configs to "reduce security" by enabling password access: password access to ssh comes enabled by default. In fact, due to packaging policies on Debian, Ubuntu, and (I suspect) Fedora, our package would be forbidden to twiddle with the config. 2) I think the simplest is, if someone wants to write a script to do this, and test it throuoghly, it could simply be added to the /usr/share/docs/ltsp/examples directory, when an admin would have it to ready access if needed.
