No, it is generally not done that way.
Instead, one copies the public key to the XO laptop, and then a
password is not necessary, and it can remain unset.
sudo service sshd start
sudo chkconfig sshd on
Copy the id*.pub file from your system to the laptop, save it in a
directory .
Is it generally OK to change the password of user 'olpc' on an XO laptop,
e.g. to set up remote ssh access to that XO?
Or is it somehow safer to create or set up a brand new Linux user for this
purpose?
Thanks if u know!
