Last year, when I was installing a bunch of headless servers, I wrote a password agent.
I wrote a C program to deal with the "hard" part (inotify, NotAfter, the socket) and then fork a child to do the "simple" part (in my case, a script to flash some LEDs to prompt the user and then read the key(s) from an inserted USB stick.) It all wraps up in a local rpm I put on my kickstart USB; the kickstart file(s) flash the LEDs and generate keys; there's a dracut module so the password agent is included in the boot sequence. It occurs to me that my password agent helper might be useful to other people, either as an example in C, or as a helper so they only have to write a simple script to get a password. I'm now installing F22 on some machines, and I'm about to dust off my code. Do you guys think my code might be useful, and if so, to whom should I offer it? It's somewhat at the intersection of systemd, dracut, and kickstart. Cheers, Frederick.
