https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D228863 Bug ID: 228863 Summary: [installation] Allow SSH remote connection to FreeBSD Installer Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Some People Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: ben.rubson@gmail.com Hi, Would be nice to be able to launch SSH server from the FreeBSD Installer. There are several occasions during the installation process where we can sw= itch to a shell for manual operations. Unfortunately, through a console, it's sometimes painful for example to properly prepare disks, even more to repair things (disks, zpools or whatev= er) after a crash etc... One could then like to start SSH daemon to work easier through a remote connection. Unfortunately, SSH daemon won't start as /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* files don't ex= ist, and can't be generated as the FS is read only. In addition passwords can't = be set / SSH configuration can't be modified for the same reason. Could we then, into the installation ISOs : - to add default "/etc/ssh/ssh_host_*" files ; - or to modify SSH & rc script configurations so that they are generated in= to /tmp ? We would also need a user with a shell and a password, and allow it to swit= ch to root. Or set/generate a default root password, and set SSH config "PermitRootLogin yes". Thank you very much !
