Yes. We can harden sshd a bit more and document the changes in d-i tasksel via ReleaseNotes and some public announcement on blogs/p.u.c. > > Unfortunately, I don't think we're reaching a consensus here on ubuntu-de...@. > > I'm going to redraft the proposal, note that there was no general > consensus on the matter in the ubuntu-devel@ mailing list, and ask the > Tech Board for guidance. Thanks everyone for the lively discussion. This is something we need to do anyhow. TB has the final say.

Re: SSH and the Ubuntu Server
Quoting Oliver Grawert (o...@ubuntu.com): > the serial port should be enabled automatically if you set the console= > boot parameter to a serial tty (i.e. console=ttyS0,115200n8) its rerally Are you sure? Bc when I tried this just last night on a 10.04 server, I still had to create an /etc/init/ttyS0.conf with the obvious contents in order to get a login prompt (even, iirc, boot messages) on ttyS0. It's not a big deal, but of course it means you have to have some other way of getting into the box after install to set that up first. -serge -- ubuntu-devel mailing list ubuntu-devel@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
