https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=221955 Bug ID: 221955 Summary: /etc/rc.conf should be copied first time from the /msdos file system Product: Base System Version: 11.1-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: arm Assignee: freebsd-arm@FreeBSD.org Reporter: tarjei@online.no The arm servers like the Raspberry PI 3 get their operating system by copying an image to a memory card. That image contains a MSDOS compatible partition which contains files that can be edited on e.g. windows. Being able to edit the future rc.conf file would allow us to edit the name of the server, make sure that growfs is enabled, enable ntpd, etc. By renaming the file fter use, we have a track record of the inital config and if neccessary it can be done again. Ideally there should also be a possibility to define a non-root account that is to be created the first time. Several FreeBSD derivatives uses different accounts. It would be nice to be able to log on regardless of what account they have decided on. The definition of the account should be overwritten once it has been created to ensure that the password cannot be recovered after the account has been created. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.help
