Closed as NOTABUG: --- Comment #1 from Chris Lumens <[email protected]> 2009-02-12 10:56:56 EDT --- Right, this is by design. The reason being that for a lot of the enterprise customers, the only way to get into the machine after installation is via ssh. We don't want to lock people out of fresh installs. This is especially the case on s390 and similarly unusual architectures. It is perhaps a little unexpected, but we're definitely doing this for a reason. ---- Stuff like this has come up before, where RH does something to cater to the majority of their customers, and the more technical folks on this list think it's just crazy. IMO, it's just another case of that, and I have a great enough appreciation of Red Hat that I can pretty readily overlook this kind of thing. *shrug* Regards, David -- David L.
