In the upcoming release, rc.local will be overwritten on image capture
by the OS/Linux.pm module.
a post_load script would probably be a good way to go until we can make
the dependency on two networks optional.

Hey Josh,
Regarding the first question I was able to modify the image so I can
ssh in as root.
Regarding the fooling I was think more about making minor changes to
the script /etc/rc.local (suggested in the guide to created Base
Image), located on the image, as well as implement my own version of
post_load(). What I do not know is what needs to be done after the
image has started up before handing it to the end user. If some of the
action required different approach then the one already defined in VCL
i can rewrite them for my module.

man sshd_config - look for PermitRootLogin

One of the backend guys will have to answer this part, but keep in
mind that
when you "fool" part of a system, you are often going against underlying
assumptions upon which the system was built. This can result in a
long trail
of fooling one part, then another part, then another one, etc.
